🧬 Introduction – What is I-Pill (Levonorgestrel)?

I-Pill is a single-dose emergency contraceptive tablet manufactured by Piramal Healthcare Ltd, India. It contains 1.5 mg of Levonorgestrel, a synthetic progestogen that helps prevent pregnancy when taken within 72 hours of unprotected intercourse or contraceptive failure.

Levonorgestrel acts primarily by inhibiting ovulation, preventing fertilization, or blocking implantation depending on the timing of its use. I-Pill is not meant for routine contraception but serves as a backup method in emergencies.

Widely available in India and shipped globally, I-Pill is considered a reliable and accessible option for emergency birth control.
