Product Overview

i-pill is a highly effective emergency contraceptive containing 1.5 mg of Levonorgestrel. Designed for use within 72 hours (3 days) after unprotected sex or contraceptive failure, it provides women with a reliable solution to prevent unintended pregnancy. This convenient oral option offers reassurance in unexpected circumstances.

Uses

i-pill prevents pregnancy following unprotected intercourse or contraceptive failure. As an emergency measure only (not for routine contraception), it works by delaying ovulation or preventing fertilization when taken within the recommended timeframe.

How to Use

Take one i-pill tablet with water immediately after unprotected sex or contraceptive failure. Maximum effectiveness occurs when taken within 12 hours, though it remains effective up to 72 hours. If vomiting occurs within 2 hours of taking, consult a healthcare provider about repeating the dose.

How it Works

The active ingredient Levonorgestrel primarily works by:
• Inhibiting ovulation (egg release)

These combined actions prevent pregnancy when used as directed.
