There is a growing demand for postinor, world over. This growing demand is not unconnected to the fact that hundreds of thousands of unwanted pregnancies occur yearly with a lot of them resulting in the death of young women from botched abortions. The need for an emergency contraceptive that helps avert this disaster is the reason why postinor is popular drug among women today.

However, very few women actually understand how postinor works. The larger majority of women display a shocking but pardonable ignorance of the workings of postinor despite its profound and widespread usage among females.

Anyways, for all those who may yet not understand the drug or who are using it but have one or two questions to ask, or complaints to make, below are a list of FAQs with answers tailored to address each question adequately. If at the end you feel your complaint has not been addressed, don't hesitate to contact us for a more personal consultation.


FAQ #1. Is postinor an abortion drug?

Answer: No, postinor is not an abortion drug. Contrary to to popular beliefs that postinor can be used to terminate a pregnancy, available facts have debunked that myth. Postinor is not an abortion drug i.e it does not bring about the termination of an already implanted pregnancy. No matter the quantity you swallow, it will never work as an abortion drug.


FAQ #2. Is postinor 1 and postinor 2 the same?

Answer: In terms of active ingredient, yes. They both contain levonorgestrel, a progestogen-only formula, and as such, have the same mechanism of action. However, postinor 1 has just one tablet while postinor has two tablets. Again, postinor 1 is taken at once as a single dose. With postinor 2 however, the first tablet is taken immediately while the second one is taken 12 hours after the first tablet.


FAQ #3. How safe is postinor?

Answer: very safe. The safety of postinor has been established, world over. The rumors about its unsafeness peddled by unscrupulous bloggers looking for cheap traffic to their sites is unfounded and baseless. Postinor only has levonorgestrel as its active ingredient- and as far as we (medical practitioners) know, levonorgestrel is very safe to use.


FAQ #4. Does postinor cause cancer?

Answer: Again, NO-it does not. This is yet another falsehood spread by mischief makers and fear mongers. As a matter of fact, the use of postinor has been found to prevent the occurence of genital tract cancers e.g endometrial cancer.


FAQ #5. How long should I wait before taking it?

Answer: Don't wait at all. As soon as you have had an unprotected sex where your partner ejaculated inside of you, reach for postinor and swallow it asap. This is because the more you delay taking it, the higher the chances that it will fail to prevent conception. Usually, you don't want to let it pass 72 hours before taking it. At this point, the risk of failure is significantly increased.

FAQ #6. Can it make me have irregular periods?

Answer: Yes. Postinor can delay your next menstruation by up to 5 days, just like it can make it come earlier by up to 5 days. It all depends on the individual involved. Most women who experience the delay get worried and start to panic because they are afraid the delay may be the result of pregnancy.


FAQ #7. How exactly does it work?

Answer: Postinor's effect is felt in two ways,
It increases the production of cervical mucus and makes it almost impossible for the sperm cells to swim and the eggs.
Because levonorgestrel is a progestogen, it mimics the effect of progesterone by preventing ovulation i.e it prevents the release of eggs, hence, even if the sperms sail through, they will be horribly be disappointed by having nothing to penetrate and fertilize.


FAQ #8. What will happen if I mistakenly take 2 tablets at once?

Answer: Very occasionally, some women mistakenly take two tablets at once. Why this is not the standard practice, there is nothing outragoues that occurs when this happen. Except for the temporary persistence of side effects like nausea, vomiting and irregular menses, nothing out of the ordinary happens.


FAQ #9. Will postinor make me barren later in the future?

Answer: Postinor does not cause barrenness. Usually, its half-life is between 17-24 hours, after which its effect dissipates, and menstruation returns, although its return may be delayed or earlier than normal. Just to emphasize the point: postinor DOES NOT cause barrenness.


FAQ #10. Can I take it on an empty stomach?

Answer: YES. There is no restrictions on it. You can take it either on an empty stomach or after a meal.


FAQ #11. What common side effects should I expect after taking postinor?

Answer: Minor side effects such as nausea, vomiting, menstrual irregularities (blood spots, delayed period, etc) are some of the side effects witnessed after taking postinor. In any case, they are usually mild and not serious enough to require medical attention.


FAQ #12. What should I do if I vomit after taking it?

Answer: If you vomit within 3 hours after taken postinor, you should get another tablet and take it. This is because it has been found that within that time frame, the drug's effect would not have been fully established for pregnancy prevention to be achieved. So taken another pill as a precautionary measure is not out of practice.


FAQ #13. Can I take it more than once per month?

Answer: Absolutely! Although, this is not the usual standard practice. WHO advises that it be limited to once per month. However, in the event that it is taken more than once, there is no serious complication except for the persistence of the usual side effects. For example, taking it twice or thrice within the same month can make one experience prolonged nausea, vomiting and menstrual irregularities. Apart those, there is nothing immediately demaging from using it more than once per month.


NB: Postinor should never replace the use of other long term birth control methods. It is only for emergency contraception. Because it is a steroid, regular use predisposes one to some of the harmful effects caused by steroid overuse.
