Product introduction

Mpill 1.5mg Tablet comes as a single tablet or dose, which can be taken with or without food. It must be taken as soon as possible, within 72 hours (3 days) after the first episode of unprotected sex or contraceptive failure has occurred. It works primarily by preventing or delaying the release of an egg from the ovary (also known as ovulation), and therefore, the sooner it is used, the better.

Overall, Mpill 1.5mg Tablet is well tolerated. However, like all medicines, it can have some side effects too, but these generally do not last more than 1-2 days, and not everyone using it may experience these.

The most common side effects may include nausea, irregular bleeding before the next period, lower abdominal pain, tiredness, and headache. If you experience any side effect that persists or is worrying you, consult your doctor immediately.

Before taking Mpill 1.5mg Tablet, check to ensure that you are not already pregnant, haven't missed your period, or your period is not delayed by more than 7 days, or is not already more than 72 hours (3 days) since the first episode of unprotected sex or contraceptive failure. If any of the above-mentioned is true, consult your doctor immediately.

Benefits of Mpill Tablet

Emergency contraception
Mpill 1.5mg Tablet offers a safe and effective option for preventing unintended pregnancy. It is widely accessible and easy to use, making it a convenient choice for women seeking emergency contraception. Unlike some contraceptive methods, Mpill 1.5mg Tablet can be taken at any time during the monthly cycle and does not require a physical examination or a prescription. It can also be used by women who cannot use oral contraceptive pills due to contraindications. Mpill 1.5mg Tablet contains relatively fewer hormones compared to regular contraceptive pills, reducing the potential for metabolic effects over time. Additionally, its short exposure duration minimizes the risk of fetal malformations or congenital defects, and it does not increase the risk of ectopic pregnancy.

How should I take Mpill 1.5mg Tablet?

Take one tablet as soon as possible, not later than 72 hours after unprotected sex or contraceptive failure.

How effective is Mpill 1.5mg Tablet?

The sooner you take it, the more effective it is. Mpill 1.5mg Tablet significantly reduces your chances of becoming pregnant if used within 72 hours (3 days) after unprotected sex or contraceptive failure.

Can I take Mpill 1.5mg Tablet during breastfeeding?

Yes, it is safe during breastfeeding. It is unlikely to cause any significant effect on milk quantity that can affect the infant adversely.

How often can I use Mpill 1.5mg Tablet?

It can be taken more than once a month, but it is advised only for emergency contraception. Keep using regular contraception like condoms, regular birth control pills, IUDs, etc., to avoid unwanted pregnancy.

Is a pregnancy test required after taking Mpill 1.5mg Tablet?

Although Mpill 1.5mg Tablet significantly reduces your chances of pregnancy, if your periods are delayed by more than a week, a pregnancy test is recommended. However, if you decide to continue the pregnancy, you may do so, as Mpill 1.5mg Tablet does not work if pregnancy has already been established. It will not cause harm to the foetus.

Can Mpill 1.5mg Tablet be taken for regular birth control?

No, it is not indicated for regular birth control. It is used only as an emergency measure after unprotected sex or contraceptive failure.

Can Mpill 1.5mg Tablet protect against sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) and HIV/AIDS?

No, it does not offer any protection from HIV/AIDS or other STDs. You can use condoms to protect yourself from STDs and HIV/AIDS.

What is the difference between “emergency contraceptive pill” and “abortion pill”?

Pregnancy starts once the fertilized egg attaches to the lining of the uterus (womb). Abortion pills contain medicine, which hinders the development of a pregnancy after it has occurred and also alters the character of the womb lining in a way that the fertilized egg gets detached, hence causing abortion. On the other hand, emergency contraceptive pills like Mpill 1.5mg Tablet contain female hormones which delay the release of the egg or prevent the movement of sperm towards the egg. This prevents fertilization and hence pregnancy. Mpill 1.5mg Tablet does not have any effect on a fertilized egg and hence does not cause abortion.

Is Mpill 1.5mg Tablet effective if frequent acts of intercourse have occurred in a short duration of time?

Yes. It is effective if you have had several acts of intercourse in a short span of time. However, these acts must occur within 72 hours before taking Mpill 1.5mg Tablet. Also, since there is a chance of unintended pregnancy after frequent acts of unprotected sex in the same cycle, it is advisable to use a barrier contraceptive method (e.g., condom) until the next period, even after using Mpill 1.5mg Tablet.
