My Way is indicated for emergency contraception to help prevent pregnancy following unprotected intercourse or suspected contraceptive failure, such as a broken condom or missed birth control pills.
My Way contains the active ingredient levonorgestrel, a synthetic progestin hormone. It works primarily by preventing or delaying ovulation and may also affect cervical mucus or the uterine lining to help prevent fertilization and implantation.
My Way is not intended for routine contraception and should not be used if pregnancy is already suspected or confirmed. It is most effective when taken as soon as possible after intercourse. Common side effects may include nausea, abdominal pain, fatigue, headache, or menstrual changes. Users should consult a healthcare provider if they have certain medical conditions or are taking other medications.
