Difference Between Postinor 10, Postinor 4, Postinor 2 And Postinor 1

The chance of getting pregnant from an unprotected sex is about 30 per cent during the fertile days. No one wants to take that risk when not ready for a child. Humans device various methods to prevent pregnancy. The earlier methods was withdrawal which failed so many times. Scientist developed various contraceptive methods. They were all designed to prevent pregnancy before sex. However, there was nothing that can be done if it fails. Then comes postinor to the rescue. Postinor is an oral contraceptive for females. It is taken immediately after unprotected sexual acts. It prevents the sperm from getting to the egg. It is highly effective with less than 1 percent failure rate. This is when it is used according to prescription. Besides, it is safer with less side effects. Read Also: Male birth control drugs will soon be available

Types Of Postinor

Postinor contains a progesterone only steroid called levonorgestrel. It was first marketed by Gedeon Richter under the name postinor. Ever since then, various brands have been produced with different strengths. The naming is based on the number of tablets on each sachet. The strength is not actually put into consideration.

Postinor 10

Containing 10 tablets of levonorgestrel 0.75mg, this was easily accepted in the early days. The prescription was a tablet taken within an hour of unprotected sexual act. However, there was a backlash from the medical community because of the misuse. This lead to the removal of the 10 pill pack and change its packaging instructions. Today some companies still produce it. Read more about postinor 10.

Postinor 4

The initial backlash from the medical community led to the production of postinor 4. Containing four tablets of 0.75mg levonorgestrel it became the standard for some time. The instructions was still a tablet within one hour of unprotected sexual act which can be used up to four times in a month.

Postinor 2

This is the most popular among the others now. It contains the same active ingredient as postinor 10 and 4, but this time only two pills in a sachet. The first tablet is to be taken within three days or 72 hours of unprotected sex and the second dose in 12 hours time. Read more about postinor 2.

Postinor 1
The difference between the various types of postinor tablet
Postinor 1

Postinor 1 is the last in the series. It contains the same active ingredients as the others but just one tablet. The major difference is the strength. It contains 1.5mg levonorgestrel. The single tablet is taken within 3 days of unprotected sex. This is an extended release drug that is same with postinor 2. Read more about postinor 1.

Postinor Difference

From this, it is clear that all the postinor is the same. There is no difference in terms of side effects and effectiveness. The only thing is the dose. For postinor 10 and 4, a single tablet within an hour is effective. After an hour, it should be dose like postinor 2 which is two tablets within 12 hours interval. Taking both at the same time can still work but I am not very sure about that. So many people take the two tablets at once and never come back with pregnancy.

      Postinor 10 contain 10 tablet of 0.75mg which is the same strength in postinor 4 and 2. The dosage is 0.75mg less than 72 hours after unprotected sex and another 0.75mg 12 hours later. Some poeple take two tablet at once and it works fine but that is not the recommended dose. If it fails, you have yourself to blame. If you take the two tablet from postinor 10, you are left with 8 more tablet of 0.75mg.Fake postinor may not have NAFDAC registration number. And the packaging may not look like the original.

      Postinor have nothing to do wit the womb. It is the female hormone you will be messing around with. An abuse will lead to reduce production of hormones responsible for the stimulation of ovulation. And that can lead to infertility.A lot of journals recommend maximum of a dose a month. Few others clock it at two dose max. Going above that may spell doom in the future. Not to mention irregular period

It should be taken one tablet immediately after sex and then another tablet 12 hours later.However, with the way I think you took it, it will prevent pregnancy

      It takes two hours for postinor two to reach peak plasma concentration in the body which is 18mg/ml. The half life is 26 hours. That means that the drug will only start in the body within 26 hours after which it effectiveness will start to decrease after every 26 hours. It does not stay long in the body

      There is no scientific documents that suggest that a dose of postinor work before sex as in this your case. It works after sex. But looking at it from my own point of view, it should be able to prevent pregnancy of it was within that same day. Mind.you, this is a personal opinion and not a research base.Some experts suggest not more than two doses in a month while.others peg it at one dose in a month. The more postinor two you take in a month, the more it disrupt your fertility hormones which alter your period. If you decide to take another dose, bear this in mind.Condom could have save you this stress

      Chances of you getting pregnant are low. But it depends on the stage you are in and your hormone level which I don't have the details. I guess the MVA was immediately after the miscarriage.As for your second question, two tablet of postinor 10 taken together can prevent unwanted pregnancy within 72 hours after unprotected sex

      If you had unprotected sex again on the 15 without postinor 2, I can't guarantee. But if you took postinor 2 after the unprotected sex on the 15, you are safe if you are only worried about pregnancy. However, I can't guarantee the safety of your system as it can disrupt your hormones

      The frequency of postinor is a month. Although some literature put it at maximum of two dose in a month. If I go by the first, the answer is no as it will mess up your system. But going by the second, you can still use another

      The right dose of postinor is 2 tablet and not one. That alone has render the intervention ineffective. Postinor work by preventing pregnancy after sex and not the other way round. So if you took it before sex, I can't guarantee you that it is going to work

      This is a very dicey situation many married people see themselves. A breastfeeding mum will not ovulate. This is because her prolactin levels is high. However, the prolactin levels can drop any moment. When such a thing happens, she can ovulate.Having unprotected sex on her ovulation day can result in another pregnancy she is not prepared for. And she may not know she I ovulating due to the fact that ovulation comes before period.She can use postinor immediately after an unprotected sex. But she should not use more than a dose in a month. The best solution is to always use barrier method or start other suitable method such as combination 3. For further enquiry, contact me using the contact me form
