Frivelle is an oral contraceptive containing levonorgestrel, used for emergency contraception. It helps prevent pregnancy after unprotected sex or contraceptive failure. Learn more about its uses and effects.

Frivelle is primarily used as an emergency contraceptive to prevent pregnancy after unprotected sexual intercourse or contraceptive failure. It works by delaying ovulation or preventing fertilization. This medication is not intended for regular use as a primary birth control method but serves as a backup option in emergency situations.

Common effects of Frivelle may include nausea, vomiting, headache, and breast tenderness. Some users may experience irregular menstrual bleeding or spotting. These effects are generally mild and temporary, but if they persist or worsen, it is advisable to consult a healthcare professional.

Frivelle should be used with caution in individuals with a history of severe liver disease or breast cancer. It is important to follow the prescribed dosage and administration instructions. This medication is not suitable for everyone, and a healthcare provider should be consulted before use, especially if there are any pre-existing medical conditions.

Frivelle may interact with certain medications, including those that induce liver enzymes, such as some anticonvulsants and antibiotics. Alcohol consumption should be avoided as it may increase the risk of side effects. Always inform your healthcare provider about all medications you are taking to avoid potential interactions.
