One Tablet. One Step.
What You Need to Know

What is Athentia Next™?

Athentia Next™ is emergency contraception that helps prevent pregnancy after birth control failure or unprotected sex. It is a backup method of preventing pregnancy and should not be used as regular birth control. 

What Athentia Next™ is not.

Athentia Next™ will not work if you are already pregnant and will not affect an existing pregnancy. Athentia Next™ will not protect you from HIV infection (the virus that causes AIDS) and other sexually transmitted diseases (STDs).

When should I use Athentia Next™?

The sooner you take emergency contraception, the better it works. You should use Athentia Next™ within 72 hours (3 days) after you have had unprotected sex.

Athentia Next™ is a backup or emergency method of birth control you can use when:

• your regular birth control was used incorrectly or failed
• you did not use any birth control method

When not to use Athentia Next™.

Athentia Next™ should not be used:

• as a regular birth control method, because it’s not as effective as regular birth control.
• if you are already pregnant, because it will not work.
• if you are allergic to levonorgestrel or any other ingredients in Athentia Next™.

When should I talk to a doctor or pharmacist?

Ask a doctor or pharmacist before use if you are taking efavirenz (HIV medication) or rifampin (tuberculosis treatment) or medication for seizures (epilepsy). These medications may reduce the effectiveness of Athentia Next™ and increase your chance of becoming pregnant. Your doctor may prescribe another form of emergency contraception that may not be affected by these medications.

How does Athentia Next™ work?

Athentia Next™ is one tablet with levonorgestrel, a hormone that has been used in many birth control pills for several decades. Athentia Next™ contains a higher dose of levonorgestrel than birth control pills, but works in a similar way to prevent pregnancy. It works mainly by stopping the release of an egg from the ovary. It is possible that Athentia Next™ may also work by preventing fertilization of an egg (the uniting of sperm with the egg) or by preventing attachment (implantation) to the uterus (womb).

How can I get the best results from Athentia Next™?

You have 72 hours (3 days) to try to prevent pregnancy after birth control failure or unprotected sex. The sooner you take Athentia Next™, the better it works.

How effective is Athentia Next™?

If Athentia Next™ is taken as directed, it can significantly decrease the chance that you will get pregnant. About 7 out of every 8 women who would have gotten pregnant will not become pregnant.

How will I know Athentia Next™ worked?

You will know Athentia Next™ has been effective when you get your next period, which should come at the expected time, or within a week of the expected time. If your period is delayed beyond 1 week, it is possible you may be pregnant. You should get a pregnancy test and follow up with your healthcare professional.

Will I experience any side effects?

• some women may have changes in their period, such as a period that is heavier or lighter or a period that is early or late. If your period is more than a week late, you may be pregnant.
• if you have severe abdominal pain, you may have an ectopic pregnancy, and should get immediate medical attention.
• when used as directed, Athentia Next™ is safe and effective. Side effects may include changes in your period, nausea, lower stomach (abdominal) pain, tiredness, headache, dizziness, and breast tenderness.
• if you vomit within 2 hours of taking the medication, call a healthcare professional to find out if you should repeat the dose.
