Does Restart™ have any short-term or long-term side effects?Updated a year ago

When used as directed, Restart™ is safe and effective. Side effects may include:

  • Changes in your period

    • Some women may have changes in their period, such as a period that is heavier (or lighter) and/or a period that is early or late. If your period is more than a week late, you may be pregnant.

  • Nausea

  • Lower stomach (abdominal) pain

  • Tiredness 

  • Headache

  • Dizziness 

  • Breast tenderness

 

Keep in mind:

  • If you have severe abdominal pain, you may have an ectopic pregnancy, and you should get immediate medical attention.

  • If you vomit within 2 hours of taking the medication, call a healthcare professional to find out if you should repeat the dose.

 

It’s important to note that using Restart™ doesn’t impact an existing pregnancy nor does it negatively affect your ability to get pregnant in the future. Restart™ is a safe and easy way to prevent pregnancy without needing a prescription or having to go to the pharmacy.

 

It is also not advised that Restart™ be used as a regular birth control method. Consult your doctor about a birth control method that makes sense for you.
