EMKIT TABS (Levonorgestrel) CONTRACEPTIVE PILLS – Zafa Pharma

EMKIT Tablets contain Levonorgestrel 0.75 mg, a synthetic progestin used for emergency contraception following unprotected sexual intercourse or contraceptive failure. Levonorgestrel primarily works by delaying or preventing ovulation, thereby reducing the possibility of pregnancy. Emergency contraceptive pills do not terminate an established pregnancy and are not intended to be used as a regular contraceptive method.

Used For
Emergency contraception after unprotected intercourse
Contraceptive failure, such as condom breakage or slippage
Incorrect or missed use of regular contraception
How It Works

Levonorgestrel acts mainly by preventing or delaying ovulation. It is most effective when taken as soon as possible after unprotected intercourse.

Usage & Dosage

EMKIT contains 0.75 mg levonorgestrel per tablet and is supplied as a 2-tablet pack. The manufacturer’s product information states that the two tablets may be taken together for emergency contraception.

Common Side Effects

Possible side effects may include:

Nausea
Vomiting
Fatigue

Abdominal discomfort
Temporary changes in menstrual bleeding or timing

These effects are generally mild and temporary.

Drug Interactions

Certain medicines that increase liver enzyme activity may reduce the effectiveness of levonorgestrel. Patients should inform their healthcare professional about all medicines and herbal products they are taking.

When Not to Use

EMKIT should not be relied upon as regular contraception. It is also not effective for terminating an established pregnancy.

Precautions
Take as soon as possible after unprotected intercourse for better effectiveness.
EMKIT does not protect against sexually transmitted infections (STIs).
If vomiting occurs shortly after taking the dose, medical advice should be sought regarding whether the dose needs to be repeated.
Repeated emergency-contraceptive use can cause menstrual irregularities and a regular contraceptive method may be more appropriate.
Warnings

For emergency contraception only. It should not replace a regular contraceptive method. If the expected menstrual period is significantly delayed or pregnancy is suspected, a pregnancy test and medical consultation are recommended.

Pregnancy
