Postinor vs Mifestad: Which Emergency Contraception Is Right for You?
Both Postinor (levonorgestrel) and Mifestad (ulipristal acetate) are effective emergency contraceptives. Postinor works best within 24 hours (95% effective) and is available over-the-counter. Mifestad maintains high effectiveness (95%) even at 72 hours and works up to 5 days, making it the better choice if more time has passed.
Levonorgestrel vs Ulipristal Acetate: Understanding Your Options
Levonorgestrel and ulipristal acetate are the two active ingredients used in emergency contraception pills. Levonorgestrel (found in Postinor, Plan B) is effective up to 72 hours and available OTC. Ulipristal acetate (found in Mifestad, Ella) maintains high effectiveness up to 120 hours, making it the better choice when more time has passed.
Morning After Pill vs Regular Birth Control: What's the Difference?
The morning after pill is for emergencies only and prevents a single pregnancy when regular contraception fails or isn't used. Regular birth control (pills, IUDs, implants) provides ongoing protection. EC is less effective than consistent use of regular birth control and shouldn't replace it.
Same-Day Delivery vs Pharmacy Pickup: Getting Emergency Contraception Fast
In Metro Manila, same-day delivery (40 min - 2 hours) is often faster and more convenient than pharmacy pickup, especially considering travel time and potential stock issues. For provincial areas, plan ahead as delivery takes 1-4 days.
Does Emergency Contraception Affect Your Future Fertility?
No. Emergency contraception does not affect future fertility. Ovulation typically returns to normal within the same or next menstrual cycle. Studies have shown no long-term reproductive effects from emergency contraception use.
