Dr. Josefina Vázquez is an experienced physician with over three years in emergency medicine, reanimation, and specialized transport.

Postinor is an emergency contraceptive pill used to prevent pregnancy after unprotected sexual intercourse or contraceptive failure (e.g., missed pill or condom breakage). The active ingredient is levonorgestrel, a synthetic progestogen hormone that mimics natural progesterone.

The primary mechanism of action is delaying or inhibiting ovulation, the release of an egg from the ovary. By doing this, Postinor reduces the likelihood of fertilization. It may also cause changes to the cervical mucus and endometrial lining, making it more difficult for sperm to reach an egg or for a fertilized egg to implant in the uterus. However, it does not terminate an existing pregnancy and has no effect once implantation has occurred.

Postinor should be taken as soon as possible after unprotected sex, preferably within 12 hours, and no later than 72 hours (3 days). The sooner it is taken, the more effective it is. It is not intended for regular contraceptive use and should not replace ongoing birth control methods. It also does not protect against sexually transmitted infections (STIs).

Benefits of Postinor include ease of access, simple single-dose administration, and generally mild side effects. Some users may experience nausea, changes in the menstrual cycle, breast tenderness, fatigue, or abdominal discomfort. Most side effects resolve within a few days.
