PATIENT INFORMATION

PostDay One-Step™
(levonorgestrel tablet, 1.5 mg)
Emergency Contraceptive
One Tablet. One Step.
What You Need to Know


What is PostDay One-Step™?
PostDay One-Step™ is emergency contraception that helps prevent pregnancy after birth control failure or unprotected sex. It is a backup method of preventing pregnancy and should not be used as regular birth control.


What PostDay One-Step™ is not.
PostDay One-Step™ will not work if you are already pregnant and will not affect an existing pregnancy. PostDay One-Step™ will not protect you from HIV infection (the virus that causes AIDS) and other sexually transmitted diseases (STDs).


When should I use PostDay One-Step™?
The sooner you take emergency contraception, the better it works. You should use PostDay One-Step™ within 72 hours (3 days) after you have had unprotected sex.


PostDay One-Step™ is a backup or emergency method of birth control you can use when:
• your regular birth control was used incorrectly or failed
• you did not use any birth control method


When not to use PostDay One-Step™.
PostDay One-Step™ should not be used:
• as a regular birth control method, because it’s not as effective as regular birth control.
• if you are already pregnant, because it will not work.
• if you are allergic to levonorgestrel or any other ingredients in PostDay One-Step™.

When should I talk to a doctor or pharmacist?
Ask a doctor or pharmacist before use if you are taking efavirenz (HIV medication) or rifampin (tuberculosis treatment) or medication for seizures (epilepsy). These medications may reduce the effectiveness of PostDay One-Step™ and increase your chance of becoming pregnant. Your doctor may prescribe another form of emergency contraception that may not be affected by these medications.

How does PostDay One-Step™ work?
PostDay One-Step™ is one tablet with levonorgestrel, a hormone that has been used in many birth control pills for several decades. PostDay One-Step™ contains a higher dose of levonorgestrel than birth control pills, but works in a similar way to prevent pregnancy. It works mainly by stopping the release of an egg from the ovary. It is possible that PostDay One-Step™ may also work by preventing fertilization of an egg (the uniting of sperm with the egg) or by preventing attachment (implantation) to the uterus (womb).

How can I get the best results from PostDay One-Step™?
You have 72 hours (3 days) to try to prevent pregnancy after birth control failure or unprotected sex. The sooner you take PostDay One-Step™, the better it works.

How effective is PostDay One-Step™?
If PostDay One-Step™ is taken as directed, it can significantly decrease the chance that you will get pregnant. About 7 out of every 8 women who would have gotten pregnant will not become pregnant.

How will I know PostDay One-Step™ worked?
You will know PostDay One-Step™ has been effective when you get your next period, which should come at the expected time, or within a week of the expected time. If your period is delayed beyond 1 week, it is possible you may be pregnant. You should get a pregnancy test and follow up with your healthcare professional.

Will I experience any side effects?
• some women may have changes in their period, such as a period that is heavier or lighter or a period that is early or late. If your period is more than a week late, you may be pregnant.
• if you have severe abdominal pain, you may have an ectopic pregnancy, and should get immediate medical attention.
• when used as directed, PostDay One-Step™ is safe and effective. Side effects may include changes in your period, nausea, lower stomach (abdominal) pain, tiredness, headache, dizziness, and breast tenderness.
• if you vomit within 2 hours of taking the medication, call a healthcare professional to find out if you should repeat the dose.
