Emergency Contraceptive

For people in need of emergency contraceptive (also known as EC), you are in luck! The FDA has just approved a new emergency contraceptive, ulipristal tablets by Watson Pharma. If these tablets are taken within two hours of unprotected sex, they will prevent pregnancy. Through two clinical trials, these tablets were tested for safety and effectiveness.

Study 1: "A prospective, multicenter, open-label, single-arm trial conducted in the United States."
Study 2: "A randomized, multicenter, single-blind comparator-controlled trial conducted in the United States, United Kingdom, and Ireland."

Side effects for this drug include "headache, nausea, abdominal pain, dysmenorrhea, fatigue, and dizziness." These side effects can also be noted in other emergency contraceptive tablets. It's advised to inform oneself on the emergency contraceptive before ingesting it.
