I Pill Emergency Contraceptive Pill | 1 No'S
Description
I-pill tablet is an emergency contraceptive that is used to help prevent unwanted pregnancy if there has been a contraceptive failure or in the event of unprotected sexual intercourse. I-pill contains levonorgestrel, which is a synthetic hormone similar to progesterone. Levonorgestrel prevents the ovary from releasing an egg, or helps prevent fertilisation of an egg by a sperm. If you are already pregnant, I-pill will not have any effect.
