POSTPIL TABLETS – EMERGENCY CONTRACEPTIVE (MORNING-AFTER PILL)
Description: Postpil Tablets (also commonly known as Postpill or similar branding like DKT Postpill) contain levonorgestrel 1.5 mg as the active ingredient. This is a single-dose progestin-only emergency contraceptive that works primarily by preventing or delaying ovulation, inhibiting fertilization, or preventing implantation after unprotected sexual intercourse or contraceptive failure (e.g., condom breakage, missed pills). It is not an abortion pill and does not terminate an existing pregnancy.
In Nigeria, Postpil is widely used as an over-the-counter emergency contraceptive to prevent unintended pregnancy when taken as soon as possible after unprotected sex. It is most effective within the first 72 hours (3 days), with better efficacy the sooner it is taken (up to 95% if within 24 hours). It is NAFDAC-registered (e.g., under brands like DKT Postpill with NRN B4-2176 or similar) and available through trusted pharmacies like Sanlive for safe and effective use.
Important: For oral use only. Take as a single dose as soon as possible after unprotected sex; no later than 72 hours (3 days) for optimal effectiveness (some guidelines allow up to 120 hours, but efficacy decreases). If vomiting occurs within 3 hours of taking, another dose may be needed—consult a pharmacist or doctor. Not for regular contraception; use only in emergencies. Avoid if allergic to levonorgestrel or any components, or in cases of known or suspected pregnancy. Consult a healthcare professional if you have severe liver disease, unexplained vaginal bleeding, or other concerns. Does not protect against STIs/HIV—use condoms for protection.
