Overview
I-Pill is an emergency contraceptive method which allows you to prevent pregnancy if your regularly planned birth control methods have failed. The need for such a pill may arise in various conditions, such as when the condom breaks or you fail to take your regular contraceptive pills.
How does it work?
I-Pill contains levonorgestrel, which makes it very difficult for the egg to be implanted in the uterus, and cause subsequent impregnation of the female. The pill has three methods of working, depending on the current stage of the menstrual cycle.
The first method is by simply stopping an egg from being released into the ovary. The second is to prevent sperm from fertilizing the egg; and the third method involves preventing the egg from attaching itself to the womb in cases where it was already fertilized. However, if the pregnancy has already been initiated and the egg is attached to the womb, the pill will be ineffective. I-Pill is not an abortion pill.
Instructions
I-Pill comes in tablets. You need to take one at most 72 hours after intercourse to prevent any pregnancy from occurring. The pill should be taken after a meal, as it can cause an unpleasant reaction in the patient's stomach.
If you vomit after taking the pill and less than three hours have passed, you'll need to take another one to prevent pregnancy. I-Pill should not be taken by women who're already in their pregnancy, as it will not have any effect in those cases.
Effectiveness
The pill's effectiveness increases as the delay before taking it decreases. There has been a 95% success rate when the pill is taken less than 24 hours after intercourse, and about 58% in a 48-72 hour period. If more time has passed, the pill may have no effect at all, and you should seek medical attention to discuss other possible solutions.
Safety
The pill has been designed to be completely safe to use by any woman and should not cause any long-term effects.
Side effects
Taking I-Pill normally produces some side effects such as vomiting, nausea, upset stomach, and abdominal pains. Those effects normally go away after about one or two days after taking the pill. You may experience mild vaginal bleeding, but it should go away by your next period.
I-Pill may also affect your menstrual cycle and cause a delay in your next period. If the delay is more than a week, you should consult a doctor. The pill should have no long-lasting effects on your ability to become pregnant.
Warnings
I-Pill is only meant to be a backup contraceptive. It should not replace your regular birth control methods. I-Pill should not be used in patients with allergies to one or more of its ingredients. The pill must not be used in women who're already in pregnancy.
