Introduction of Leepill 1.5mg Tablet

Leepill 1.5mg Tablet is an effective contraceptive option used by women to avoid an unintended or unwanted pregnancy. It is usually used after unprotected sex or contraceptive failure (where the contraceptive method was broken/slipped/missed). It must not be used as a regular contraceptive method.
Leepill 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, Leepill 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 Leepill 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.
