Regular contraception must not be confused with emergency (morning after) pill. Morning after pill is sold under the brand name of Norlevo (by Win-Medicare) and contains levonorgestrel 0.75 mg. Dose is 2 tablets taken together as soon as possible, preferably within 12 hours but no longer than 72 hours. If vomiting occurs within 3 hours, then additional 2 tablets should be taken.
