Post-coital contraception (contraception after intercourse), which can be used within 72 hours (3 days) after unprotected sexual contact or when the usual method of contraception has failed. The pill contains a synthetic hormone-like active substance called levonorgestrel.

It is thought to work by:

• stops the release of the egg from the ovaries;
• prevents fertilization of an egg already released by sperm.

It does not work if the woman is already pregnant. If unprotected sexual intercourse occurs after taking the tablet, the tablet will not prevent pregnancy. The tablet is not indicated for use before the first menstrual bleeding (menarche).
