Emcon 1 Tablet contains Levonorgestrel 1.5 mg, a hormonal emergency contraceptive used to prevent unintended pregnancy after unprotected sexual intercourse or contraceptive failure. It is commonly referred to as the “morning-after pill” and is most effective when taken as soon as possible within 72 hours after unprotected intercourse.

Levonorgestrel is a synthetic progestin that works by preventing or delaying ovulation, altering cervical mucus to inhibit sperm movement, and modifying the uterine lining to prevent implantation if fertilization has occurred.

Composition

Each tablet contains:

• Levonorgestrel 1.5 mg

Mechanism of Action

Levonorgestrel acts by:

• Delaying or inhibiting ovulation, preventing the release of an egg for fertilization

• Thickening cervical mucus, making it difficult for sperm to reach the egg

• Altering the endometrium (uterine lining), reducing the likelihood of implantation

The combined effect ensures a high efficacy in preventing unintended pregnancy when taken promptly after unprotected sex.
