Overview Restrikt 1.5mg Tablet

Emergent 1.5mg tablets offer emergency contraception for women seeking to prevent unintended pregnancy. This single-dose medication is indicated for use following unprotected intercourse or contraceptive mishap. It's not intended for routine birth control. The tablet can be taken with or without food and should be administered within 72 hours (3 days) of the event. Its primary action is inhibiting or postponing ovulation, thus emphasizing prompt use. Generally well-tolerated, Emergent 1.5mg may cause temporary side effects (typically resolving within 48 hours) such as nausea, menstrual irregularities, lower abdominal discomfort, fatigue, and headache. Persistent or concerning side effects warrant immediate medical attention. Prior to use, confirm you are not pregnant, haven't missed a period by more than 7 days, and that it's been less than 72 hours since unprotected sex or contraceptive failure.
