The i-Pill is an emergency contraceptive pill that contains an active ingredient called levonorgestrel. It works by slowing the ovulation process, depending on the menstrual cycle, and prevents the egg from being released. If there is no pregnancy, the bodys progesterone levels decrease, resulting in menstrual cycles. However, after swallowing the i-Pill, the body is fooled into believing that the egg has been released to prevent the egg from being released.
The i-Pill can cause several side effects, including:
- Nausea or vomiting
- Tiredness
- Headaches
- Stomach cramps
- Irregular periods (delayed or early periods)
- Breast soreness
- Faintness
- Bleeding between periods or heavier menstrual bleeding
- Lower abdominal pain or cramps
- Unusual vaginal bleeding or discharge
- Allergies
- Fatigue
- Dizziness
- Skin rashes
- Weight gain
- Altered periods (late, early, or absent)
- Hormonal imbalance
- Mood swings
It is important to note that the i-Pill should not be used routinely and should only be used for emergency purposes as it has a high dose of hormones. It is not recommended for abortion purposes. If you experience any concerning symptoms or discomfort, it is best to seek medical advice and help.
