What is Postinor?

Postinor is a brand of emergency contraceptive pill from Gedeon Richter, the Hungarian pharmaceutical company. Its active ingredient is levonorgestrel, a hormone that has been used in emergency contraception for decades.

The "2" means two tablets of 0.75mg. Together they make one full 1.5mg course.

It is registered with Malaysia's NPRA under MAL19872263ARZ, and has been registered in Malaysia since 1987. It is used after unprotected sex or when regular contraception fails, such as a split condom or missed pills. It is not an abortion pill and does not protect against sexually transmitted infections.

Postinor-2 questions, answered

About Postinor-2

Postinor-2 is used to lower the chance of pregnancy after sex without contraception, or when your usual method fails, such as a split condom or missed pills. People searching "postinor 2 untuk apa" are asking the same thing. It is a backup for occasional use, not a regular method, and it does not protect against sexually transmitted infections.

No. Pil Postinor works before a pregnancy starts, mainly by delaying the release of an egg. It does not end a pregnancy that has already implanted and is not known to harm one. If you think you may already be pregnant, take a test or speak to a doctor before taking it.

Price and buying

At Hello Doktor, Postinor-2 is RM7 per strip, and one strip is one full course. Prices at other pharmacies vary. The optional doctor consultation is RM1 if you want to ask questions first. The price table on this page shows the total for 1 to 10 strips.

Taking it

The Postinor-2 leaflet in Malaysia gives the dose as one tablet, then the second 12 hours later. Some guidelines allow both 0.75mg tablets to be taken together as a single 1.5mg dose. Follow the leaflet, or speak to a doctor for RM1 if you want to take them together. (MEDICAL REVIEW)

After taking it

Most people get their period around the expected time, though it can come a few days early or late. Some notice spotting in the days after the tablets. If your period is more than 7 days late, or unusually light, take a pregnancy test.

Still unsure? Ask us on WhatsApp.
