what is ipill

I-Pill is an emergency contraceptive tablet used to prevent unintended pregnancy in the event of unsafe intercourse or failure of contraception. It contains an active ingredient called levonorgestrel, which is a synthetic version of the naturally occurring female sex hormone, progesterone. The pill works by slowing down the ovulation process, depending on the menstrual cycle, and temporarily halting the production of eggs, blocking fertilization, or preventing a fertilized egg from getting implanted in the uterus. It should be taken orally within 24 to 72 hours of having unprotected sex for maximum effectiveness. However, it is important to note that I-Pill should only be used as an emergency contraceptive method and not as a regular birth control method. The pill may have side effects such as nausea, vomiting, headache, and irregular menstrual bleeding. It is important to consult a healthcare provider before taking I-Pill to ensure it is safe and appropriate for individual circumstances.
