| DUOFEM FULL DESCRIPTION |
|
Duofem� also known as NorLevo�, Vikela�, Vika� is an Emergency Contraceptive Pill.
What is Duofem�?
Duofem� is an emergency contraceptive product that prevents the starting of a pregnancy. It contains levonorgestrel, a synthetic progestin, which is also a component of some contraceptive pills. The amount of hormone in one Duofem� tablet corresponds to that gained from a month's dose of minipills.
What is Duofem� used for?
The product is used when condom use or other contraception has failed or when no contraception has been used during intercourse. If pregnancy has already started or starts in spite of emergency contraception, Duofem� does not harm the fetus. Duofem� is not an abortion pill.
Who can use Duofem�?
The product can be used by women from 18 years of age up to menopause, with certain limitations. Who can not use Duofem�? Do not use Duofem� if you have a severe liver disease or if you are allergic to the product. If you have a liver disease, cardiac disease, increased risk of blood clotting or extrauterine pregnancy, or inflammatory bowel disease, contact your doctor to assess the risks ofDuofem� use.
How is Duofem� used?
The first tablet is taken as soon as possible after unprotected intercourse, and the second tablet 12 (-24) hours after taking the first tablet. The product does not have much contraceptive effect if the first tablet is taken as late as three days after intercourse.
How effective is Duofem�?
The efficacy of the product is the better, the earlier it is taken. If the first tablet is taken within 12 hours of unprotected intercourse, pregnancy probability is 0.5%. If use of emergency contraception is started over 48 hours after intercourse, pregnancy probability is approximately 3%. |
