Of course, if a woman is responsible for her health, she carefully considers the best way to protect herself from all the troubles associated with the intimate side of relationships. But it is impossible to foresee everything always. Life is multifaceted, and the surprises that it sometimes brings are not always pleasant and predictable.
It happens that
- The condom breaks or slips off;
- Coitus interruptus fails;
– Missing two or more oral contraceptive pills;
- There is unprotected sexual contact (due to various circumstances).
In all these cases, the risk of becoming pregnant is quite high. However, you should not panic. An unwanted pregnancy can also be prevented after sexual intercourse with the help of the so-called emergency or postcoital contraception.
This is a representative of the old generation of hormonal drugs. One tablet contains 0.75 mg of levonorgestrel (a synthetic hormone). It must be applied in two stages. The first tablet of Postinor should be taken within 72 hours after sexual intercourse, and preferably immediately after it. The next tablet is 12 hours after the first. The effectiveness of taking Postinor depends on how long after an unprotected act you took this remedy:
94% - if the tablet was taken within 24 hours after the act;
86% - if the tablet was taken within 25-48 hours after the act;
57% - if the pill was taken within 49-72 hours after the act.
After taking it, side effects are not uncommon:
Feeling nauseous
Vomit
Diarrhea
Dizziness
Feeling broken
Headache
Painful and unpleasant sensations in the area of the mammary glands and in the lower abdomen
Temperature increase
Contraindications to taking Postinor are:
Severe liver disease (hepatitis (even previously transferred), cirrhosis).
puberty
Postinor can only be used by women with a regular menstrual cycle.
It can be used for a maximum of 96 hours from the moment of possible fertilization. Contains twice as much levonorgestrel (1.5 mg) so only one tablet is required. The risk of pregnancy is on average 1.1%. Contraindications and side effects are the same as Postinor.
However, according to the World Health Organization, the first choice for emergency contraception should be preparations containing the anti-hormone mifepristone. Currently available in pharmacies are Ginepristone and Agesta. Their efficiency is 98.8%. One tablet containing 10 mg of mifepristone should be taken no later than 72 hours after unprotected intercourse.
Ginepristone (Agesta) will practically not harm your reproductive system, but even after taking it, you may experience the following side effects:
Discomfort in the lower abdomen
Feeling weak
Headache attacks
Vomiting or nausea
allergic rash
Increase in body temperature
Failure of the menstrual cycle
You can not use Ginepriston (Agesta) for problems with the liver and kidneys, for changes and disorders of the hormonal background, as well as for some other diseases.
Frequent use of Ginepristone (Agesta) reduces the effectiveness of its action.
It is necessary to use drugs intended for postcoital protection against pregnancy strictly in accordance with the instructions. This is done on an empty stomach (at least 2 hours should pass from the moment of the last meal) and do not eat anything for 2 hours after the tablets are drunk.
If emergency contraception causes vomiting within three hours after use, the effectiveness of the drug is sharply reduced. You need to take an extra dose.
Remember that even after you have taken emergency birth control pills, after a while you need to contact your personal gynecologist:
To check for unwanted infections because these drugs do not protect against sexually transmitted diseases
To make sure that pregnancy still has not occurred (this is especially true when menstruation is delayed more than a week after taking the pills or with suspiciously meager menstrual flow).
So that the doctor, after observing your menstrual cycle for some time, prescribes, if necessary, treatment to stimulate ovarian function.
Means of emergency (urgent) contraception are not so harmless: they can cause hormonal failure and disruption of the reproductive system. In addition, their use is less effective than the regular use of conventional birth control pills or the careful use of condoms.
But it is better to use them than to risk them: the body will cope with the consequences of taking them pretty soon, and you will have to take care of a child born as a result of an unplanned pregnancy all your life.
So, if you suspect that you might be pregnant, it's best to take the necessary steps.
1. Decide which drug you will use. It is better to opt for Ginepristone or Agesta preparations. By the way, these drugs are cheaper than Postinor.
2. Go to the pharmacy as soon as possible. Better yet, use the phone and find out what and where is available. In the pharmacy, you can be advised in the old fashioned way by Escapel and Postinor, and for Ginepristone or Agesta, require a doctor's prescription. In any case, it makes sense to go first to the gynecologist. If Ginepriston or Agesta, in principle, is not in the availability zone, then buy Escapel.
3. If you are abroad, then there may be similar drugs under other names. For example, instead of Postinor, Plan B, Levonelle, NorLevo and others may meet. And if you are not ready to communicate, for example, in a Turkish pharmacy, then it is better to take an emergency contraceptive drug with you.
4. If you find yourself on a camping trip or in some place where the traces of civilization are barely visible, then it would be nice to take care of emergency contraception in advance. Otherwise, by hook or by crook, you should get regular birth control pills. Of course, they were not originally intended for such purposes, but in case of emergency they can be used, and very successfully. They, like the drugs described above, must be taken the sooner the better (the maximum period is 72 hours). They are used as Postinor in 2 doses (the second dose 12 hours after the first is taken) But the number of tablets in 1 dose, depending on the concentration and composition of hormones, may be different:
- Containing ethinylestradiol (MARVELON, MINISISTON, MICROGENON, FEMODEN, RIGEVIVIDON): dose - 4 tablets;
- Containing ethinylestradiol (NON-OVLON, BISECULIN, OVIDON, OVULEN, ANOVLAR): dose - 2 tablets;
- Mini-pills (MICROLUT, EXCLUTON, OVRET) contain the same active ingredient as Postinor, but in very small quantities, so the dose to achieve the effect should be "shock" - 20 tablets.
1. Girls, finding themselves in such a situation, very often begin to worry a lot about their health. Believe me, this situation happens to many, and with some, 5-6 times during an active sexual life. Excessive nervousness will harm you more than any drug.
2. If you're still young and feel the false shame of buying emergency contraception, then visit a drug store in another area that you'll probably never visit again.
3. Of course, it is better to ask your partner to buy pills, but, as a rule, young people are also embarrassed to do this. If your man unconditionally agrees to take matters into his own hands, you can be sure that he can be counted on in the future. If not, act on your own, and you will sort out your relationship later: now you have a more urgent matter.
4. If you don’t feel moral strength at all, call a friend as a “support group”. Perhaps she will even agree to buy the drug for you, but you should not abuse it: after all, it is best to solve your problems on your own.
5. Emergency pills are relatively expensive, but that's no reason not to buy them. Money can be asked or borrowed
– With your partner (which is quite logical)
- At a friend's
- Mom, after all
For the last two, it is better to come up with a plausible excuse, and not name the true reason, however, this depends on the degree of closeness of your relationship.
In the medicine cabinet of every woman, regardless of whether she uses contraceptive pills regularly or takes them from time to time, there should be emergency (post-hiccup) contraception: Postinor or Ginepriston, Escapelle, Zhenale.
In fact, Postinor tablets, its analogues cannot be considered a real contraceptive, because the principle of their action is fundamentally different from the action of conventional contraceptive drugs.
First, postcoital drugs prevent eggs from leaving the ovary. Secondly, if this still happened, they prevent the egg (already fertilized) from attaching to the wall of the uterus and continuing development. Thirdly, they prevent the fertilization of the egg. Finally, if pregnancy does occur, Postinor can cause medical abortion.
Classic birth control pills simply prevent the release of an egg from the ovary. Accordingly, if there is no egg, there can be no fertilization.
Some experts on the sidelines call Postinor tablets, analogues of this drug and other postcoital contraceptives "drugs for widows", implying occasional use of the drug.
The question rightly arises: "If the medicine cannot be taken constantly, when is it best to use it?" The answer is simple: "In an emergency." That is why drugs of this kind are popularly called "the morning after." What are these emergencies?
The drug "Postinor", analogues of this remedy can be taken after intercourse for 72 hours. Naturally, the more time passes, the lower the effectiveness of the impact. However, even after 72 hours, there is a 58% chance that the drug will work and pregnancy will not occur.
What are these emergency cases?
Women are often interested in what is better: postinor or escapelle. The principle of action of these contraceptives is the same, but the drug "Postinor" belongs to the earlier, not so well-balanced formulations. After taking it, every second woman has nausea. It can adversely affect the development of pregnancy, if it does occur.
The drug "Escapel" was created later, it has fewer side effects, and you can drink it within 96 hours after the act. For Postinor funds, this period is only 72 hours.
To the question: postinor or ginepristone is more effective, doctors often answer that all drugs of later generations are more effective, less harmful. However, in the case of the drug "Ginepriston" this truth does not work. Just like Postinor tablets, it can cause nausea or vomiting, spotting, and cycle disturbance. And from that, and from another contraceptive, urticaria, dizziness, hyperthermia, weakness may appear.
In addition, it is important to always remember that all such drugs have many contraindications. They are not recommended:
If you need to take a postcoital contraceptive without fail, it is better to do this on the advice of a doctor.
Anyuta
Emergency contraceptives
Ginepriston or Agest (Gynepriston)
Modern hormonal postcoital drug. Compared to Postinor, it is almost harmless, because it is an anti-progesterone, it is no less effective in preventing pregnancy, but this is not a huge dose of hormones, but a small dose of an antihormone. Ovarian damage does not occur.
Escapelle
An exclusive new product for emergency contraception. Recommended for use within 96 hours of unprotected sex. The earlier the pill is taken, the more effective its action.
Mifegin (Mifepristone)
A modern drug, with the help of which medical (non-surgical) termination of pregnancy is performed for a period from the first day of delayed menstruation to 8 weeks. To carry out this procedure, you must contact a gynecologist licensed to use this drug.
Postinor (Postinor)
Hormonal drug from the "last century" for emergency contraception. The earlier the first tablet was taken, the more effective the action.
ATTENTION!! !
This outdated drug contains a very high dose of the hormone levonorgestrel, many times higher than the content of this hormone in oral contraceptives. This dose is a powerful blow to the ovaries. In addition to the fact that the onset of pregnancy will be interrupted, the menstrual cycle may be disrupted.
Therefore, this drug should not be used more than 2 times a year and considered as one of the possible contraceptives! This applies in particular to young women under the age of 18, whose hormonal balance has not yet been established.
There is an alternative!
The drug is called ESCAPEL.
IT IS GENERALLY CAUSED FOR 96 HOURS!! !
This drug is intended for emergency cases, in no case replaces regular contraception. The use of Escapel® is recognized as the most effective and well-tolerated method of emergency contraception. The drug is extremely convenient to use: 1.5 mg of levonorgestrel in one tablet, which provides the necessary dosage of levonorgestrel, sufficient to prevent pregnancy, and moderately low in order to prevent the onset of an unwanted pregnancy for a woman in the most gentle way. 1.5 mg of levonorgestrel is a safe dose of the drug for the female body, which has been confirmed by numerous clinical studies around the world. Levonorgestrel does not prevent fertilization in all cases. In the case when the time of sexual intercourse is not exactly known, or when more than 96 hours have passed since intercourse without contraception, the probability of fertilization is high. In such cases, taking the Escapelle tablet after the second sexual intercourse will not bring the desired result.
Escapela tablet can be taken on any day of the menstrual cycle, provided that the previous menstruation was normal. After using this remedy, you should use barrier contraceptives, such as a condom, until the next menstruation.
Natalia Aquilina
all postcoital contraceptives are essentially the same - they contain a horse dose of hormones, and they are all equally harmful to health ... this, as they say, is an extreme measure, it is better not to take it at all, the consequences are very unpleasant (I know from my own experience)
Natalia
Any preparation of emergency contraception contains a "shock" dose of hormones - this is the basis of the principle of its action. All are approximately equally unsafe in terms of hormonal imbalance. Choose other measures and methods of protection.
Sardine Lida
escapelle, but this is also almost a mini abortion, there are no less harmless ones with the same result. here I read about washing with lemon juice, drinking decoctions from the motherboard, etc., but it seems to me that this is tantamount to putting a net on a pussy with iodine and waiting for the result ... choose for yourself a different method of contraception than the calendar one - my friend flew into having sex during her period ...
Postinor is a remedy for preventing unwanted pregnancy, and its effectiveness has been proven in practice by many women. This potent drug belongs to the line of emergency contraceptives, it is based on the effect of an artificial hormone on the body. Due to its powerful effect, Postinor should be used with extreme caution, preferably after consulting a doctor.
The active substance is an artificial hormone - levonorgestrel. In 1 tablet of the drug it contains 0.75 milligrams.

The second tablet must be taken 12 hours after the first.
Postinor cannot replace traditional contraceptives, and its reception is an emergency, emergency method. The drug has a strong effect on the body, and therefore it is strongly not recommended to take it repeatedly during one menstrual cycle. The interval between postinor course intake should be at least 3-6 months.

Postinor analogues are cheaper
4 (80%) 1 votePostinor and its analogues are hormonal drugs used after unprotected intercourse to prevent unwanted pregnancy. There are 2 tablets in the Postinor package, the first must be taken as soon as possible, the second in a day. The drug is relatively cheap, but in many pharmacies you can find its safe counterparts at the same price or cheaper.
Genale is a cheap analogue of Postinor, which can be found in almost all cities of Russia. Produced in the form of convex on both sides, round yellow tablets with a pale green tint. Each of them contains 10 mg of the active substance of the drug - mifepristone, while in the drug Postinor the active ingredient is levonorgestrel.
This analogue is used as an urgent contraceptive within three days after unprotected intercourse. Dosage - 1 tablet, 2 hours after a meal.
The action, like that of Postinor, is aimed at:
Before taking the medicine, as well as other analogues of Postinor, it is important to make sure that there are no contraindications indicated in the instructions: chronic diseases of the kidney and liver, pregnancy and lactation.
The use of this Postinor substitute has side effects on the nervous, digestive and reproductive systems, and can also cause general weakness and skin rashes.
Genale, like Postinor and similar similar drugs:
After taking the drug, the use of medicines, the action of which is aimed at relieving inflammatory processes, is not allowed. If a woman is breastfeeding, she needs to take a two-week break.
Genale is stored for a maximum of 3 years in a dry place at room temperature.
A worthy replacement for Postinor - the drug Escapel - is cheaper and no less effective. It is a postcoital emergency contraceptive used by mouth once. If a woman vomited within three hours after using the remedy, it is necessary to take the drug again. The medicine is produced in white tablets.
The action of Escapelle, like other analogues, is aimed at:
It is important to remember that the effectiveness of the drug and analogues directly determines the time of sexual intercourse: during the first day, the probability of abortion is 95%, the second - 85% and the third - only 58%. Approximately the same indicators for other analogues.
This analogue of Postinor is categorically contraindicated in the following cases:
Breastfeeding mothers should stop lactating for up to 12 days.
The drug does not protect against sexually transmitted diseases.
Like analogues, it can cause adverse reactions: allergies, symptoms of intoxication, fatigue, pain in the reproductive organs, bleeding and menstrual irregularities.
To preserve the properties, it is necessary to store the tablets in a dark, dry place at an air temperature of at least 25 degrees.
Both Postinor and Escapel can be purchased at a pharmacy without a gynecologist's prescription, but this does not mean that the drugs are safe. They are considered analogues of each other, have an identical list of contraindications, side effects and the active ingredient is levonorgestrel, only in different dosages. Therefore, they differ only in the way they are used. If the question arises which is better - Postinor or Escapel - the answer is unequivocal: the funds are the same, both are cheap, you just need to drink two tablets first, and one second.
Postinor's analogs can be dispensed without a doctor's prescription or with it. Ginepristron belongs to the second group of drugs. It is not as cheap as Postinor, Escapelle and Genale, on average its price is 100 rubles higher per pack. Pharmaceutical form - yellow-green tablets. Each of them contains 10 mg of mifepristone, like Genale's tablets, so Ginepristron, like other Postinor analogues, is a synthetic drug.
It is used as soon as possible after unprotected sexual intercourse, it is desirable to maintain a two-hour interval between meals. The algorithm of action of the active and excipients looks like this:
Like Postinor tablets, its analogue Ginepriston does not protect against sexually transmitted diseases and AIDS.
The drug has an impressive list of contraindications, the absence of which must be verified before use:
With the preliminary intake of drugs, the action of which is aimed at blood clotting, as well as anti-inflammatory drugs.
Like all analogues of Postinor, Ginepriston affects lactation. If the drug was taken by a woman who is breastfeeding, feeding should be stopped for at least 2 weeks.
Side effects include the same as for other Postinor analogues: symptoms similar to manifestations of intoxication, pain in the genital area, menstrual cycle failure, general loss of strength.
The main requirements for the storage of the drug - a dry place inaccessible to sunlight, air temperature up to 30 degrees. Prices for Ginepriston are close to the cost of Postinor, but slightly cheaper.
Among the analogues that can replace Postinor, Microlute differs in the form of release and method of application. The drug is a dragee, 35 pieces in each package. For the price, it's just as cheap. The complexity of the use in comparison with other analogues lies in the regularity and continuity, as well as the need to control the time of admission. But the action of Microlut, unlike other analyzed contraceptives, is aimed at preventing unwanted pregnancy, and not its disruption. The fact that the drug does not have harmful effects is its main advantage.
The active substance is levonorgestrel, 0.03 mg per tablet. It is this component that affects the composition of the uterine mucosa, which contributes to the formation of an unfavorable environment for embryo implantation. Among the frequently asked questions regarding the effectiveness of the drug, women ask if Microlut can prevent conception completely. The answer is no, like any analogue of Postinor - cheap or expensive, this drug does not give a 100% guarantee.
It is used according to the doctor's prescription, in the absence of any of these contraindications:
Due to the gentle dosage of the synthetic substance, this analogue of Postinor rarely has side effects. If they still happen, then they are expressed as follows:
It is necessary to store the drug at room temperature in a dry, dark place for no more than 5 years.
Postinor is considered to be the most popular emergency contraceptive. The analogues described above are almost all the same cheap, but no less effective. Each of them is a synthetic drug due to the nature of the active substance. Contraindications and side effects are similar, as is the method of application. The exception is Microlute, which must be applied constantly. All these cheap analogues are sold in pharmacies in Russian cities.
