Product introduction

Leedoz 72 Tablet comes as a single tablet or dose which can be taken with or without food. It must be taken as soon as possible within 72 hours (3 days) after the first episode of unprotected sex or contraceptive failure has occurred. It works primarily by preventing or delaying the release of an egg from the ovary (also known as ovulation), and therefore, the sooner it is used the better.


Overall, Leedoz 72 Tablet is well tolerated. However, like all medicines, it can have some side effects too, but these generally do not last more than 1-2 days and not everyone using it may experience these. The most common side effects may include nausea, irregular bleeding before the next period, lower abdominal pain, tiredness, and headache. If you experience any side effect that persists or is worrying you, consult your doctor immediately.


Before taking Leedoz 72 Tablet, check to ensure that you are not already pregnant, haven't missed your period or your period is not delayed by more than 7 days, or is not already more than 72 hours (3 days) since the first episode of unprotected sex or contraceptive failure. If any of the above mentioned is true, consult your doctor immediately.

Uses of Leedoz Tablet

Benefits of Leedoz Tablet

Emergency contraception
Leedoz 72 Tablet offers a safe and effective option for preventing unintended pregnancy. It is widely accessible and easy to use, making it a convenient choice for women seeking emergency contraception. Unlike some contraceptive methods, Leedoz 72 Tablet can be taken at any time during the monthly cycle and does not require a physical examination or a prescription. It can also be used by women who cannot use oral contraceptive pills due to contraindications. Leedoz 72 Tablet contains relatively fewer hormones compared to regular contraceptive pills, reducing the potential for metabolic effects over time. Additionally, its short exposure duration minimizes the risk of fetal malformations or congenital defects, and it does not increase the risk of ectopic pregnancy.
