    WHAT IS PREVENTOL?

    PREVENTOL is a hormonal method of contraception that can be used to prevent pregnancy after
    unprotected sexual intercourse. It consists of two oral pills, each containing 0.75mg Levonorgestrel.

    WHY IS PREVENTOL NEEDED?

    PREVENTOL is an important option for women who recently have had unprotected intercourse or a
    contraceptive failure and want to avoid pregnancy. Sexual assault culminating in intercourse is an
    important indication for use of PREVENTOL.

    EMERGENCY CONTRACEPTION REGIMENS

    There are two kinds of regimens used in emergency contraception: the Levonorgestrel-only regimen and
    the combined estrogen-progestin regimen. PREVENTOL comes under the first regimen. Levonorgestrel-
    only pills are as effective as comined oral contraceptive pills and have fewer side effects. However, both
    these regimens do not disrupt an established pregnancy.

    MODE OF ACTION

    The exact mode of action of PREVENTOL is not known. Studies show that it prevents pregnancy by
    inhibiting or delaying ovulation, altering transport of sperm, ovum or embryo, interfering with corpus
    luteum function, preventing fertilization and inhibiting implantation.

    EFFECTIVENESS

    PREVENTOL reduces the risk of pregnancy from a single act of unprotected sexual intercourse by 85
    percent.
