Product Description
Unwanted 72 Tablet is used as an emergency contraceptive to prevent unwanted pregnancy in cases of unprotected sex or contraception failure. As the name suggests, it should be taken as soon as possible, preferably within 72 hours of the incident, to ensure maximum effectiveness.
This tablet contains levonorgestrel as its active ingredient. Once absorbed into the bloodstream, levonorgestrel works by inhibiting the release of certain hormones—luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH)—which are responsible for ovulation, the release of an egg from the ovary. Depending on the phase of the menstrual cycle, the pill may delay or prevent ovulation. If ovulation has already occurred, the pill can interfere with the fertilization of the egg. In cases where fertilization has taken place, it may prevent pregnancy by stopping the implantation of the fertilized egg in the uterus.
Unwanted 72 is a single-dose oral formulation meant exclusively for emergency use. It must be taken within 24 to 72 hours after unprotected intercourse. The earlier it is taken, the more effective it is. Its efficacy decreases as more time passes after the sexual activity.
While generally safe when used responsibly, Unwanted 72 can cause side effects such as nausea, fatigue, and stomach cramps. It is not intended for regular contraceptive use and should only be used in emergency situations.
