What is Restart™ and how does it work?Updated a year ago
Restart™ is an emergency contraceptive pill (also known as the morning-after pill) that can reduce your chances of getting pregnant after unprotected sex (or if your birth control fails).
If taken within 72 hours after unprotected sex, Restart™ can reduce your risk of pregnancy by nearly 90% — giving you greater control of your body and your future.
Restart™ is formulated with levonorgestrel, an ingredient commonly found in hormonal birth control. This hormone works to delay the release of an egg from your ovary (known as ovulation) so that it can’t be fertilized by sperm after unprotected sex. Levonorgestrel may also prevent the attachment of a fertilized egg to the walls of the uterus (also known as implantation). By adjusting your ovulation timing, you can prevent pregnancy before it happens.
Using Restart™ doesn’t impact an existing pregnancy and it doesn’t 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.
