Gedeon Richter Emergency Contraceptive Richter 1500mcg - 1 Tablet
Brand: Gedeon Richter
What is Emergency Contraceptive Richter 1500mcg? Emergency Contraceptive Richter is an emergency contraceptive that can be used within 72 hours (3 days) of unprotected sex or if your usual contraceptive method has failed. Emergency Contraceptive Richter contains a synthetic hormone-like active substance called levonorgestrel. It prevents pregnancy in 99% of situations when you take it within 72 hours of having unprotected sex. It will not prevent a pregnancy every time and is more effective if you take it as soon as possible after unprotected sex. It is better to take it within 12 hours rather than delay it until the third day. Emergency Contraceptive Richter is thought to work by: stopping your ovaries from releasing an egg; preventing sperm from fertilising any egg you may have already released. Emergency Contraceptive Richter can only prevent you from becoming pregnant if you take it within 72 hours of unprotected sex. It does not work if you are already pregnant. If you have unprotected sex after taking Emergency Contraceptive Richter, it will not stop you from becoming pregnant. Emergency Contraceptive Richter is not indicated for use before the first menstrual bleeding (menarche). Emergency Contraceptive Richter is not recommended for young women under 16 years of age. How to take Emergency Contraceptive Richter 1500mcg Take the tablet as soon as possible, preferably within 12 hours and no later than 72 hours (3 days) after you have had unprotected sex. Do not delay taking the tablet. The tablet works best the sooner you take it after having unprotected sex. It can only prevent you from becoming pregnant if you take it within 72 hours of unprotected sex. Emergency Contraceptive Richter can be taken at any time in your menstrual cycle, assuming you are not already pregnant or think you may be pregnant. Do not chew but swallow the tablet whole with water. If you are using one of the medicines that may prevent Emergency Contraceptive Richter from working properly (see section above “Other medicines and Emergency Contraceptive Richter”) or if you have used one of these medicines in the past 4 weeks, Emergency Contraceptive Richter may work less effectively for you. Your doctor may prescribe another type of (non-hormonal) emergency contraceptive, i.e. a copper intrauterine device (Cu-IUD). If this is not an option for you or if you cannot see your doctor promptly, you can take a double dose of Emergency Contraceptive Richter (i.e. 2 tablets taken together at the same time). If you are already using a regular method of contraception, such as the contraceptive pill, you can continue to take this at your regular times. If another unprotected intercourse takes place after the use of Emergency Contraceptive Richter (also if this is during the same menstrual cycle), the tablet will not exert its contraceptive effect, and there is again the risk of pregnancy.
