Levonorgestrel Emergency Contraceptive 1.5mg Tablet

Fast-Acting Emergency Contraceptive Solution

Contingency One offers a reliable backup option for preventing pregnancy after unprotected sex or when a contraceptive method fails, like a broken condom. For the best results, it should be taken within the first 72 hours (3 days) after the incident.

Important Usage Information

Contingency One is not intended to replace regular birth control methods and is less effective than most ongoing contraceptives when used correctly. It cannot end an existing pregnancy, and women who are already pregnant should not use this product. There is no scientific evidence showing harm to a developing embryo, but it is not recommended for use during pregnancy.

Step-by-Step Usage Instructions

Take Contingency One as soon as possible within

72 hours (3 days)

after unprotected sex or a contraceptive accident, and ideally within

12 hours

for best results. Swallow the tablet with a glass of water.

Do not delay

taking the tablet, as effectiveness decreases with time.

• If you vomit within 2 hours, contact your doctor or pharmacist for advice
• If more than 72 hours have passed, consult your health professional about other options

You can take Contingency One at any point in your menstrual cycle if you are concerned about unwanted pregnancy. This treatment does not cause menstruation, but you may notice some spotting a few days after taking it. Your next period should arrive as expected, or it may be a few days early or late. If your period is delayed by more than a week or you have any concerns, speak with a health professional.

Do not use Contingency One more than once in a menstrual cycle or more than once a month

, as this can disrupt your menstrual cycle. For ongoing pregnancy prevention, use a reliable birth control method regularly. If you need help choosing a method, ask your health professional.

Safety Information and Precautions

If you suspect an overdose, immediately contact your healthcare professional, hospital emergency department, or regional Poison Control Centre, even if you have no symptoms. Overdose symptoms may include

nausea, vomiting, vaginal bleeding, or menstrual disturbances
