What is Levonorgestrel?

Levonorgestrel is a progestin-only emergency contraceptive used to prevent pregnancy after unprotected sex or contraceptive failure. It works by delaying ovulation and altering cervical mucus. Suitable for adults and adolescents within 72 hours of exposure. Always consult a healthcare professional for personalized advice.

What is Levonorgestrel used for?

Levonorgestrel is primarily used as emergency contraception to prevent unintended pregnancy following unprotected intercourse or contraceptive failure. It is not intended for routine birth control but provides a backup option when regular methods are unavailable or ineffective. The medication is most effective when taken as soon as possible after exposure.

What are the side effects of Levonorgestrel?

Levonorgestrel works by temporarily delaying ovulation, which reduces the chance of fertilization. It may also alter the cervical mucus to make it harder for sperm to reach an egg. Some users report mild side effects like nausea, fatigue, or changes in menstrual bleeding patterns, which typically resolve quickly.

What precautions apply to Levonorgestrel?

Store levonorgestrel at room temperature away from moisture and heat. Keep it out of reach of children and pets. If you vomit within two hours of taking the dose, consult a healthcare provider, as a repeat dose may be needed. This medication does not protect against sexually transmitted infections.

What does Levonorgestrel interact with?

Levonorgestrel may interact with certain medications, including those that affect liver enzymes, such as rifampin or St. John’s wort. Combining it with hormonal contraceptives or other drugs that influence hormone levels may alter effectiveness. Always inform your healthcare provider about all medications you are taking before using levonorgestrel.
