Postinor 1 Emergency Contraception

Postinor 1 emergency contraception is a backup plan that helps prevent pregnancy when taken as directed within 72 hours (3 days) after unprotected sex or birth control failure. The sooner it’s taken, the better it works. Postinor 1 is available for any woman who needs it with no age restriction.

How often can I take Postinor 1? Is there a limit to how many times you can take Postinor 1 in a year/lifetime?
Postinor 1 emergency contraception should not be used as a regular method of birth control. However, if you have already used Postinor 1, it can be safely used again after another instance of unprotected sex or birth control failure. It will not affect a woman’s future fertility. Postinor 1 doesn’t provide long-term protection against future pregnancy—it works to help prevent pregnancy after only one act of unprotected sex or birth control failure.
