Escapelle - how it works, for what and for whom

The drug with levonorgestrel Escapelle in a dose of 1500 mcg is a preparation belonging to the category of "morning after pills", also referred to as "morning after pill" or "morning after pill". It is a contraceptive method that prevents pregnancy within 72 hours of unprotected sex. It is an emergency contraceptive pill that a woman can use in an emergency. These include unprotected intercourse or contraceptive failure.

When can I take the Escapelle morning-after pill? Indications for the use of the drug
The tablet is intended for use in an emergency up to 72 hours (3 days) after unprotected sexual intercourse or when a continuous method of contraception has failed. This also applies to cases where methods of contraception have been used incorrectly, e.g. when:
the condom was used incorrectly or slipped off during intercourse
the contraceptive ring or cap is broken, displaced, damaged or removed at the wrong time
during intermittent intercourse, the penis was withdrawn from the vagina too late (ejaculation occurred in the vagina or on the external genitalia).
How does the Escapelle emergency tablet work? How does levonorgestrel work?
It contains a synthetic hormone called levonorgestrel, the active substance in a dose of 1,500 micrograms. The likely mechanism of action of levonorgestrel is based on two methods of preventing conception . Escapelle 1500 is believed to work on the one hand by inhibiting the release of an egg by the ovaries, i.e. preventing ovulation. On the other hand, its action is based on preventing the fertilization of the egg cell already released by the ovaries.

Escapelle 1500 tablet and preventing pregnancy. Is Escapelle taken after ovulation effective?
The active substance levonorgestrel prevents ovulation and conception, provided that sexual intercourse has taken place in the pre-ovulatory period. This is the time in the menstrual cycle when conception is most likely. Another mechanism of action is also thought to prevent the fertilized egg from moving into the uterus and hinder implantation.

Escapelle is not effective if the woman is already pregnant or the implantation of the egg has already started. Also, if you have had unprotected sex after taking this hormonal medicine, there may be a risk of pregnancy.
