✔️ How does Emcon 1Tablet work?

Emcon 1Tablet is a birth control pill. It decreases the likelihood of conception by inhibiting ovulation (the release of a mature egg from the ovary). It can also diminish the thickness of the uterine lining, making it unsuitable for the baby to implant and develop.

Furthermore, it can change the thickness of the cervical mucus, making it harder for sperm to enter the uterus and fertilize the egg. As a result, they make it difficult to have a successful pregnancy.

It can also inhibit the body's synthesis of male sex hormones (testosterone). This aids in the reduction of excess oil production in the skin, which lowers hormonal acne.

✔️ Indication of Emcon 1 Tablet

Emergency contraception is a rescue method that is aimed to prevent fertilization in case of unprotected intercourse.

  • This contraception must be used as soon as possible, preferably within 12 hours and no later than 72 hours (3 days) after unprotected sexual intercourse, particularly;
  • if you have had sexual intercourse whereas either yourself or your partner did not use a contraceptive method;
  • if you have forgotten to take consecutive 3 contraceptive pills;
  • if your partner's condom has broken, slipped, or been improperly removed, or if he has forgotten to use it;
  • if you fear that your intrauterine device has been expelled;
  • if your vaginal diaphragm or your contraceptive cap has moved or if you have removed it too early;
  • if you are afraid that the method of coitus interruptus has failed or if you have had sexual intercourse during the period when you are supposed to be fertile while using the rhythm method; in the event of rape.
✔️ Pharmacology

Oral contraceptives containing levonorgestrel suppress gonadotropins, inhibiting ovulation. Specifically, levonorgestrel binds to progesterone and androgen receptors and slows the release of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) from the hypothalamus. This process results in the suppression of the normal physiological luteinizing hormone (LH) surge that precedes ovulation. It inhibits the rupture of follicles and viable egg release from the ovaries. Levonorgestrel has been proven to be more effective when administered before ovulation.

✔️ Dosage & Administration of Emcon 1 Tablet

For the 1.5 mg tablet of Levonorgestrel:

  • Take one tablet as soon as possible, preferably within 12 hours, after unprotected intercourse, and no later than 72 hours (3 days) after the intercourse.
  • This tablet can be taken at any time during the menstrual cycle.

For the 0.75 mg tablet of Levonorgestrel:

  • Take the first tablet within 72 hours of intercourse, and the second tablet 12 hours after taking the first tablet.
  • Levonorgestrel should be taken within 48 hours of unprotected intercourse and not after 72 hours, as its effectiveness decreases after 48 hours.
  • This tablet can also be taken at any time during the menstrual cycle.

After using emergency contraception, it is advisable to use additional local contraceptive methods such as condoms, spermicides, or cervical caps until the next menstrual period begins. The use of Levonorgestrel does not prevent the continuation of regular hormonal contraception. If you were using oral contraceptive pills and also took Levonorgestrel, continue taking your usual pills until the end of the treatment. If no menstrual period occurs in the following pill-free period after using Levonorgestrel, a pregnancy test should be performed to confirm if pregnancy has occurred.

It is important to consult with a healthcare professional for personalized advice and guidance on the use of Levonorgestrel and contraception methods.

✔️ Interaction

Emcon 1 Tablet can interact with other medications, potentially affecting their effectiveness or causing adverse effects. It is important to inform your doctor about any ongoing treatments, over-the-counter medications, and herbal preparations you are using.

Some specific interactions to be aware of include:

  • Medications used to treat seizures (such as phenytoin, and carbamazepine) and anti-HIV medications (like ritonavir) may affect the effectiveness of Emcon 1 Tablet.
  • Certain anti-infective medications, like penicillin, can also interact with Emcon 1 Tablet.
  • The herbal supplement St. John's Wort, commonly used to treat psychiatric conditions, may alter the effects of Emcon 1 Tablet.
  • Concomitant use of Emcon 1 Tablet with certain antiviral medicines may affect liver enzymes. In such cases, it is recommended to discontinue Emcon 1 Tablet and restart it two weeks after completing the antiviral treatment.

  • Allergy to levonorgestrel, ethinylestradiol, or any other ingredients in the medicine.

✔️ Pregnancy & Lactation

Emcon 1 tablets should not be used if you are already pregnant, as they are not intended to terminate an existing pregnancy. If pregnancy occurs despite the use of this contraceptive method, epidemiological studies have not shown any adverse effects of the progestogen on fetal malformation.

Regarding breastfeeding, it is possible to continue breastfeeding while taking Emcon 1 Tablet. However, since levonorgestrel is excreted in breast milk, it is recommended to breastfeed immediately before taking each Levonorgestrel tablet and to skip breastfeeding for a period of time following each Levonorgestrel administration. This is done to minimize the amount of levonorgestrel passed on to the infant through breast milk.
