Levonorgestrel is a synthetic progestogen used in hormonal contraception and related pathways. - Emergency contraception: provides post‑coital protection to reduce the risk of unintended pregnancy after unprotected sex. - Regular hormonal contraception: used as a progestin‑only pill to inhibit ovulation and maintain contraceptive efficacy. - Management of menstrual disorders: can be prescribed to reduce heavy bleeding or dysmenorrhea associated with hormonal imbalance.

Levonorgestrel may cause a range of adverse reactions, most of which are mild and transient.

Common Side Effects: - Nausea: mild to moderate stomach upset. - Headache: occasional tension‑type headache. - Breast tenderness: temporary swelling or discomfort. - Irregular bleeding: spotting or changes in menstrual flow. - Fatigue: feeling unusually tired.

Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Thromboembolic events: rare blood clot formation. - Severe allergic reaction: rash, swelling, or difficulty breathing. - Hepatic dysfunction: abnormal liver enzyme levels. - Ectopic pregnancy: rare occurrence if pregnancy happens despite use. - Mood changes: severe depression or anxiety.

Before using levonorgestrel, consider the following safety measures. - Contraindications: avoid if you have a known hypersensitivity to levonorgestrel or any tablet component. - Pregnancy status: do not use if you are already pregnant; the product is intended for prevention, not termination. - Breastfeeding: consult a healthcare professional, as levonorgestrel may pass into breast milk. - Drug interactions: review concomitant medications that may reduce efficacy, such as enzyme‑inducing agents. - Medical conditions: discuss with a clinician if you have liver disease, cardiovascular risk, or uncontrolled hypertension. - Store at ambient temperature: keep below 25 °C, retain in the original packaging, and protect from moisture and direct sunlight.

Levonorgestrel can interact with other medicines, affecting its effectiveness or safety.

Major Interactions (Avoid): - Rifampicin, carbamazepine, phenytoin: strong enzyme inducers that may markedly reduce contraceptive efficacy. - St. John’s wort: herbal inducer that can lower plasma levels of levonorgestrel.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely): - Antifungal azoles (ketoconazole, itraconazole): may increase levonorgestrel concentrations. - Antiretroviral drugs (efavirenz, nevirapine): can modestly decrease effectiveness. - Anticonvulsants (phenobarbital): may require additional contraceptive measures. - Antidepressants (sertraline): monitor for increased side‑effect profile. - Hormonal therapies: assess for additive hormonal effects.
