It should not be used as a substitute for advice from health care professionals, as this information alone does not assure that this product is safe, effective, or appropriate for you.

Features & Benefits

Contingency One is an emergency or backup contraceptive. Contingency One can prevent pregnancy after a contraceptive accident (such as a broken condom) or when no form of birth control was used. Treatment is most effective if used in the first 72 hours (3 days) following unprotected sex. Contingency One cannot terminate an existing pregnancy. Although there is no scientific evidence that Contingency One would harm a developing embryo, women who are already pregnant should not use this product. Contingency One should not be used in place of regular contraception. It does not work as well as most other contraceptives used correctly. Contingency One peut prévenir la grossesse en cas d’échec d’une méthode contraceptive (par exemple, rupture du condom) ou lorsqu’aucune forme de contraception n’a été utilisée. Le produit offre une efficacité maximale s’il est utilisé dans les 72 heures (3 jours) suivant une relation sexuelle non protégée par un contraceptif."

Ingredients

Medicinal ingredients: Levonorgestrel. Non-medicinal ingredients: Colloidal silicon dioxide, corn starch, lactose monohydrate, magnesium stearate and polyvinyl pyrrolidone K-25."

How to Use

Usual dose: Contingency One can prevent pregnancy if the tablet is taken within 72 hours (3 days) and preferably within 12 hours after a contraceptive accident or unprotected sex (sex without birth control). Do not delay starting treatment. Contingency One is more effective the sooner you start after unprotected intercourse. Contingency One can be taken with a glass of water. If you vomit within 2 hours of taking Contingency One, call your doctor or pharmacist as you might need another dose. Important: If more than 72 hours (3 days) have passed since unprotected sex occurred, Contingency One may not be effective. See your health professional as soon as possible to discuss other options. Although the risk of pregnancy is highest in the middle of the menstrual cycle (possibly as early as day 10 after the beginning of your last period), pregnancy can occur at other times during the menstrual cycle. Contingency One can be administered anytime during your monthly cycle if you are worried about an unwanted pregnancy. The treatment does not bring on menstruation. You may experience spotting a few days after taking Contingency One, but this is not a period. Your next menstrual period should come on time (or a few days early or late). If your period is delayed more than a week or if you have any other cause for concern, talk to a health professional. More than occasional use (more than once in a menstrual cycle or more than once a month) may upset your menstrual cycle (period). If you are sexually active and do not wish to become pregnant, you should use a reliable method of contraception on a regular basis. If you want more information about regular contraceptives or if you are having trouble using a method, ask your health professional for help in choosing a method that works for you. Overdose: If you think you have taken too much Contingency One, contact your healthcare professional, hospital emergency department or regional Poison Control Centre immediately, even if there are no symptoms. Symptoms of overdose may include nausea, vomiting, vaginal bleeding, and may lead to menstrual cycle disturbances."
