If you’re searching for Escapelle, time matters. It works best the sooner you take it, ideally within 12 hours and no later than 72 hours (3 days) after unprotected sex or contraceptive failure. This guide covers the price, where to buy it, and what to know before you take it.
What is Escapelle?
Escapelle is an emergency contraceptive pill, often called the “morning-after pill”. Each pack contains one tablet of levonorgestrel 1.5 mg, made by Gedeon Richter.
It works mainly by delaying or preventing ovulation, so sperm cannot fertilise an egg. It is not an abortion pill and will not end a pregnancy that has already started. It also does not protect against sexually transmitted infections (STIs).
Escapelle is meant for emergencies, such as unprotected sex, a condom that broke or slipped, or missed contraceptive pills. It is not a replacement for regular contraception.
How much is Escapelle in Malaysia?
Escapelle typically costs between RM20.10 and RM17.50 in Malaysia, depending on where you buy it. On DoctorOnCall, it’s RM17.50.
Prices vary because of:
- Where you buy it — chain pharmacies, independent pharmacies and online pharmacies set their own prices.
- Promotions and member pricing — loyalty discounts or vouchers can lower the final price.
- Delivery fees — online orders may add a delivery charge, which some platforms waive above a minimum spend.

Where to buy Escapelle in Malaysia
Yes, Escapelle is available in Malaysia. Because it is a pharmacist-controlled medicine, you won’t find it on open shelves. A pharmacist will ask a few short questions before supplying it, to make sure it’s safe and suitable for you.
Watsons and Guardian
Many Watsons and Guardian outlets with a pharmacy counter stock Escapelle or another levonorgestrel emergency pill. Stock varies by outlet, and a pharmacist must be on duty, so it’s worth calling ahead, especially late at night or on public holidays.
Community pharmacies
Independent and chain pharmacies such as Alpro and others can also supply Escapelle after a consultation. Opening hours and stock vary by branch.
Online pharmacies
Buying online lets you skip the counter conversation in a busy store. On DoctorOnCall, you answer a short consultation online, a registered pharmacist reviews it, and your order is delivered in plain packaging. Check delivery timing against your 72-hour window before you order: if delivery won’t arrive in time, a nearby pharmacy is the faster option.

How to take Escapelle
- Swallow one tablet with water as soon as possible, ideally within 12 hours and no later than 72 hours after unprotected sex.
- You can take it with or without food, at any point in your menstrual cycle.
- If you vomit within 3 hours of taking it, the tablet may not have been absorbed. Contact a pharmacist or doctor straight away, as you may need another dose.
- Use a condom until your next period, as Escapelle does not protect you for the rest of your cycle.
When Escapelle may be less effective
Tell the pharmacist if any of these apply to you:
- You’re taking medicines that speed up how the liver breaks down drugs, such as some epilepsy medicines, rifampicin, certain HIV medicines or St John’s Wort.
- Your body weight is over 70 kg or your BMI is above 26, as a different dose or method may be advised.
- More than 72 hours have passed since unprotected sex.
Common side effects
Most people have no or mild side effects, such as nausea, headache, tiredness, lower abdominal pain, breast tenderness or spotting. Your next period may come a few days earlier or later than usual.
Take a pregnancy test if your period is more than 7 days late, unusually light, or if you have severe lower abdominal pain. See a doctor urgently for severe abdominal pain, as it can be a sign of ectopic pregnancy.
