What it is

Rogotinor is a brand of levonorgestrel, a hormone medication classified as an emergency contraceptive. It works by preventing or delaying ovulation to reduce the chance of pregnancy after unprotected sex.

What it's used for

Rogotinor is used to reduce the chance of pregnancy after unprotected sex, for example, if a regular contraceptive failed or if no birth control was used. It is not for regular daily contraception.

How it's taken

Rogotinor should be taken as soon as possible, and within 72 hours (3 days) after unprotected sex. The sooner it is taken, the better it works. If you vomit within 2 hours of taking the tablet, consult a healthcare professional to find out if you need to repeat the dose. Always follow the advice of your doctor or pharmacist.
