Escapelle 1.5mg Tablet

Introduction

Escelle 1.5mg Tablet is a clinically approved emergency contraceptive pill designed to help prevent unintended pregnancy after unprotected sex or contraceptive failure, such as a condom slipping or breaking. It contains the active ingredient levonorgestrel, a synthetic hormone that works by preventing or delaying ovulation and altering the uterine lining to reduce the chance of fertilization or implantation. Escapelle is most effective when taken as soon as possible after unprotected intercourse, ideally within 72 hours. As a single-dose emergency option, it offers peace of mind and a reliable backup for unexpected situations.

This medication is not a substitute for regular contraception but serves as a safe, well-researched solution used worldwide. Clinical studies have demonstrated Escapelle’s effectiveness and safety profile when used appropriately. Common mild side effects include nausea, fatigue, headache, and slight changes in menstrual timing. When used correctly and within the recommended window, Escapelle provides a trusted and scientifically supported way to manage reproductive health during unforeseen circumstances. DoctorOnCall International supplies only authentic, Malaysia-licensed medications for global clients seeking safe, affordable healthcare access abroad.

General Indications

Escapelle 1.5mg is indicated for women of reproductive age who require emergency contraception following unprotected sexual intercourse or birth control failure. Whether a condom broke, a contraceptive pill was missed, or no contraception was used, Escapelle reduces the risk of pregnancy when taken promptly. It is a single-use, emergency-only treatment and does not replace ongoing birth control methods.

Used correctly and quickly (preferably within 12–24 hours but not more than 72 hours), Escapelle significantly lowers the risk of unintended pregnancy. It does not terminate existing pregnancies and is not an abortion pill. Due to its predictable mechanism of action, Escapelle is widely trusted by healthcare professionals and included in national family planning programs.

How to Take Escapelle 1.5mg Tablet

Escapelle should be taken orally as a single 1.5mg tablet as soon as possible after unprotected intercourse. It is most effective when taken within 12 hours and no later than 72 hours. Swallow the tablet whole with water. It can be taken with or without food, though food may help reduce nausea.

If vomiting occurs within two hours of taking the tablet, seek medical advice, as another dose may be required. Escapelle should not be used more than once in the same menstrual cycle. Do not crush or split the tablet.

Always follow the dosage guidance from your healthcare professional and read the enclosed leaflet before use. Continue using regular contraception after taking Escapelle, as it is not intended for long-term use.

Dosage Information

Each Escapelle 1.5mg Tablet contains a single dose of levonorgestrel for one-time oral administration. The standard dose is one tablet taken as soon as possible within 72 hours after unprotected sex. Only one dose is required per incident.

Do not exceed the recommended dose. Taking more than one tablet does not increase effectiveness and may cause additional side effects. Some individuals may require alternative emergency contraception options, such as a copper IUD. Consult a healthcare provider if unsure.

Individuals with liver issues, gastrointestinal disorders, or those taking interacting medications should confirm suitability with a doctor or pharmacist.
