I-Pill - Emergency Contraception Pill i-pill, Cipla launched in August 2007 and a leader in the category of emergency contraceptive pills is a "glimmer of hope for all those women who have had unprotected sex, but do not want to design and go through the trauma of abortion.
According to estimated figures, each year there are five million unsafe abortions, and 78% of pregnancies are unplanned.
It is understood that abortion (both oral and surgery) can cause serious damage to the reproductive system. This can cause various complications, as not being able to conceive again, often miscarriage, premature delivery, abortion, etc. can also cause surgical wounds of the bladder and colon.
With Cipla I-Pill, we can now prevent unintended pregnancy after unprotected intercourse.
How can I use i-pill?
i-pill is an oral tablet. It should be swallowed with a little water in the 72 hours of unprotected sex to prevent pregnancy. It is available in pharmacies without prescription (OTC) without prescription.
The sooner i-pill is taken, the better the results. I-pill is 95% effective within 24 hours of unprotected sex, 85% between 25-48 hours and 58% if taken between 49-72 hours.
It is advisable to take i-pill after meals to prevent vomiting. If you vomit within three hours after taking i-pill, you should take another i-pill as soon as possible.
i-pill should not be used if you are already pregnant, because only a backup or a method of emergency contraception. It is not as effective as other methods of contraception regularly.
How does the pill I work?
i pill works in three ways: it prevents the ovaries from releasing an egg, can prevent sperm from fertilizing the egg, and may prevent a fertilized egg from being implanted in the uterine wall. Pregnancy is established only after the fertilized egg implants into the uterus. This process may take 2-4 days. We need to act within that period to avoid the risk of pregnancy.
If i-pill is consumed after the establishment of pregnancy, it will have no effect.
Understand that I pill offers no protection from any sexually transmitted disease. It is a common misconception that i-pill is a pill, but it is an emergency contraceptive pill.
Does i-Pill have any side effects?
i-pill has no long-term effects or serious side, and it is safe to use for almost all women.
Nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, a feeling of breast tenderness and headaches are the side effects after taking common i-pill. All this must stop in a day or two. There are chances of unexpected vaginal bleeding, but it is not dangerous and should dissipate when the next period. i-pill can also cause the next period to come sooner or later than normal. But if the periods are delayed for more than a week, it is recommended to go to a pregnancy test. i-pill will have no lasting effect that may complicate the future (and wanted) pregnancies.
Cipla strongly emphasizes the point I the pill is not a regular contraceptive pill, but an emergency contraceptive pill which should be used in case of emergency.
