FDA Recommended Dosage Guidelines for Postcoital Emergency Contraception
The FDA has declared oral contraceptives
safe and effective for emergency contraception. Vomiting, sometimes severe
enough to prevent the pills from working, and nausea
are potential side
effects. The dosing regimens for ethinyl estradiol/levonorgestrel can
be taken within 72 hours of unprotected intercourse with a follow-up
dose of the same number
of pills 12 hours after the first dose:
Levlen: Four light orange
tablets.
Nordette: Four light
orange tablets.
Triphasil: Four yellow
tablets.
Tri-Levlen: Four yellow
tablets.
The Preven Emergency Contraceptive Kit is intended to prevent pregnancy
after known or suspected contraceptive
failure or unprotected intercourse.
Emergency contraceptive
pills (like all oral contraceptives)
do not protect against infection
with HIV (the virus
that causes AIDS) and other sexually transmitted diseases.
The Preven Emergency Contraceptive Kit consists of a patient
information book, a urine pregnancy
test and 4 emergency contraceptive
pills (ECPs).
The pills in the Preven Emergency Contraceptive Kit are combination oral
contraceptives (COCs) which are used to provide postcoital
emergency contraception.
Each blue film-coated pill
contains 0.25 mg levonorgestrel (18,19-Dinorpregn-4-en-20-yn-3-one, 13-Ethyl-17-hydroxy-,
(17a)-(-), a totally synthetic progestogen,
and 0.05 mg ethinyl estradiol
(19-Nor-17a-pregna-1,3,5, (10)-trien-20-yne-3,17-diol).
The inactive ingredients present
are polacrilin potassium, lactose, magnesium
stearate, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, titanium dioxide, polyethylene
glycol, polysorbate 80 and FD&C blue no. 2 aluminum
lake.
The Pregnancy Test uses monoclonal
antibodies to detect the presence of hCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin)
in the urine. It is sensitive
to 20 to 25 mIU/ml.
