Summary
Highlights
Peuli, produced by Jiska Pharma, is introduced as Bangladesh's most effective emergency contraceptive pill. Its main ingredient is Ulipristal Acetate, with each tablet containing 30mg.
Peuli is used to prevent pregnancy after unprotected intercourse (e.g., if a condom was not used) or if one forgets to take regular birth control pills for three consecutive days. It helps regulate the menstrual cycle in such situations.
Peuli should be taken as soon as possible after unprotected intercourse, ideally within 120 hours (5 days). Taking it beyond this period will render the medication ineffective.
If vomiting occurs within three hours of taking Peuli, another tablet should be taken immediately. Peuli is an emergency contraceptive and should not be used as a regular birth control method. It is important to continue other birth control methods after taking Peuli. It may cause changes in the menstrual cycle, with periods starting 7-10 days earlier or later. If menstruation is delayed by 10-15 days, a pregnancy test is recommended. Breast tenderness is a common side effect.
The current market price of Peuli Tablet is 195 Taka.
Breastfeeding mothers can take Peuli but with caution. The active ingredient, Ulipristal Acetate, may pass into breast milk and potentially harm the infant. Therefore, breastfeeding should be avoided for seven days after taking the tablet.
