I had unprotected sex I had unprotected sex

Escapelle, Postinor, and Postinor ODT are different brands of emergency contraception, but they serve the same purpose of preventing pregnancy after unprotected sex or contraceptive failure. The primary active ingredient in all three is levonorgestrel, which works by delaying or inhibiting ovulation, the release of an egg from the ovary. The main difference lies in their formulation and administration. Escapelle and Postinor come in the form of regular tablets that need to be swallowed with water, whereas Postinor ODT stands for ‘orally disintegrating tablet’ and dissolves quickly in the mouth without the need for water. Escapelle is an emergency contraceptive pill available in a single-pill version, while Postinor-2 is the two-pill version. In terms of effectiveness, when taken correctly and within 72 hours after unprotected sex, all three brands have similar efficacy in preventing pregnancy.
