What are Emergency Contraceptive Richter tablets?
Emergency Contraceptive Richter tablets are a type of morning after pill that uses an active ingredient called levonorgestrel to prevent unwanted pregnancy. If you think that you may have unprotected sex, you can buy these tablets in advance to help to keep you from falling pregnant. Just take the tablet within 72 hours of having sex so it can get to work helping to protect you from unwanted pregnancy.
How does levonorgestrel work to prevent unwanted pregnancy?
Levenorgestrel 1500mcg is the active ingredient in Emergency Contraceptive Richter tablets. It is thought to work to prevent pregnancy by either keeping your ovaries from releasing an egg or keeping the sperm from fertilising an egg which is already released. This is why it’s so important to take this product as soon as you can after having unprotected sex, as it can help the tablet to be as effective as possible when preventing fertilisation.
