About this medication
An older emergency method using specific combined pills. Dedicated emergency options are more effective and better tolerated.
How to use it
Seek prompt clinical team/clinician advice; do not calculate a dose from an ordinary daily-pill regimen.
Pregnancy and breastfeeding
Emergency contraception does not terminate an established pregnancy; discuss breastfeeding guidance.
Before you use it
The exact product and suitability must be checked. It is not regular contraception.
Possible side effects
Nausea and vomiting are important limitations.
When to get help
A delayed period or severe abdominal pain requires pregnancy assessment.
Other medicines and products
A medication review and ongoing contraception plan are needed.
Missed doses, storage and accidental exposure
Follow your own product’s missed-dose instructions. If you are unsure, ask the Care365 clinical team before taking an extra dose. Contraceptives, injections and modified-release medicines may need a specific plan.
Keep the original packaging and follow its storage, expiry and disposal instructions. Keep medicines away from children and pets. Ask about refrigeration, after-opening limits and safe sharps disposal when relevant.
For suspected overdose or accidental swallowing, contact poison control or urgent medical care promptly. Call emergency services for breathing difficulty, collapse or a seizure.
