What You Need to Know

What is EContra One-Step^® ?

EContra One-Step^®is emergency contraception that helps prevent pregnancy after birth control failure or unprotected sex. It is a backup method of preventing pregnancy and should not be used as regular birth control. 

What EContra One-Step^®  is not.
 EContra One-Step^® will not work if you are already pregnant and will not affect an existing pregnancy. EContra One-Step^® will not protect you from HIV infection (the virus that causes AIDS) and other sexually transmitted diseases (STDs).

When should I use  EContra One-Step^® ?

The sooner you take emergency contraception, the better it works. You should use EContra One-Step^® within 72 hours (3 days) after you have had unprotected sex.

EContra One-Step^® is a backup or emergency method of birth control you can use when: 

• your regular birth control was used incorrectly or failed 
• you did not use any birth control method 

When not to use EContra One-Step^® .
 EContra One-Step^® should not be used: 

• as a regular birth control method, because it’s not as effective as regular birth control. 
• if you are already pregnant, because it will not work. 
• if you are allergic to levonorgestrel or any other ingredients in EContra One-Step^®.   

When should I talk to a doctor or pharmacist?  

Ask a doctor or pharmacist before use if you are taking efavirenz (HIV medication) or rifampin (tuberculosis treatment) or medication for seizures (epilepsy). These medications may reduce the effectiveness of EContra One-Step^® and increase your chance of becoming pregnant. Your doctor may prescribe another form of emergency contraception that may not be affected by these medications.

How does EContra One-Step^® work?

EContra One-Step^® works before release of an egg from the ovary. As a result, EContra One-Step^® usually stops or delays the release of an egg from the ovary. EContra One-Step^® is one tablet that contains a higher dose of levonorgestrel than birth control pills and works in a similar way to prevent pregnancy.

How can I get the best results from EContra One-Step^® ?

You have 72 hours (3 days) to try to prevent pregnancy after birth control failure or unprotected sex. The sooner you take EContra One-Step^® , the better it works.

How effective is EContra One-Step^® ?

If EContra One-Step^® is taken as directed, it can significantly decrease the chance that you will get pregnant. About 7 out of every 8 women who would have gotten pregnant will not become pregnant.

How will I know EContra One-Step^® worked?

You will know EContra One-Step^® has been effective when you get your next period, which should come at the expected time, or within a week of the expected time. If your period is delayed beyond 1 week, it is possible you may be pregnant. You should get a pregnancy test and follow up with your healthcare professional.

Will I experience any side effects? 

• some women may have changes in their period, such as a period that is heavier or lighter or a period that is early or late. If your period is more than a week late, you may be pregnant. 
• if you have severe abdominal pain, you may have an ectopic pregnancy, and should get immediate medical attention.
