Your doctor may prescribe another type of emergency contraceptive (non-hormonal), such as a copper-containing IUD, for you.

If you have taken Escapelle and are not taking contraceptives, you should use a condom or cervical cap and spermicide the next time you have sex before your period.

If your period is more than 5 days late, or if your period is too heavy or too thin, you should contact your doctor as soon as possible. If, despite taking the drug, you become pregnant, it is important to consult a doctor. Your doctor may also recommend a method of regular contraception that is more effective in preventing pregnancy. If you continue to use regular contraception (for example, take contraceptives), but there is no bleeding when taking a contraceptive, you should consult a doctor to rule out pregnancy. The next menstruation after taking the drug After taking the drug Escapel, menstruation most often occurs at the usual time and is of a normal nature, but in some cases it may begin earlier or later.
