Product Overview
What are Morning Pill Tablets?
Morning Pill Tablets are emergency contraceptive tablets used to help prevent pregnancy after unprotected sex or when regular contraception has not worked as expected. Depending on the product, the active ingredient may be levonorgestrel or ulipristal acetate.
How Do Morning Pill Tablets Work?
Emergency contraceptive tablets mainly work by delaying or preventing ovulation, which is the release of an egg from the ovary. Their effectiveness depends on how soon they are taken and which active ingredient the product contains.
What are Morning Pill Tablets Used For?
- Morning Pill Tablets may be used when:
- Regular contraception was not used
- A condom broke or slipped
- A contraceptive method was used incorrectly
- A regular contraceptive dose was missed
- There was concern that contraception may not have worked as intended
When Should Morning Pill Tablets Be Taken?
Emergency contraceptive tablets work best when taken as soon as possible after unprotected sex. The time window depends on the active ingredient and the specific product, so always check the product instructions.
Levonorgestrel Emergency Contraception
Levonorgestrel is commonly used for emergency contraception and works mainly by delaying ovulation. It is generally intended to be taken as soon as possible after unprotected sex.
Ulipristal Acetate Emergency Contraception
Ulipristal acetate is another emergency contraceptive option. It works by delaying ovulation and can remain effective later in the menstrual cycle than levonorgestrel in some situations.
Do Morning Pill Tablets Affect an Existing Pregnancy?
Emergency contraceptive tablets are intended to prevent pregnancy before it occurs. They do not end an existing pregnancy.
Do They Protect Against Sexually Transmitted Infections?
Morning Pill Tablets help prevent pregnancy but do not protect against sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Barrier protection may be considered when STI protection is needed.
