Frequently asked questions

What is Levonorgestrel Naari used for?+
Levonorgestrel Naari is used as an emergency contraceptive to help prevent pregnancy after unprotected sexual intercourse or contraceptive failure. It provides a short‑term, high‑dose hormonal option that works primarily by inhibiting ovulation and altering the uterine lining to reduce the chance of implantation.
How does levonorgestrel work?+
Levonorgestrel acts by binding to progesterone receptors in the hypothalamus and pituitary gland, suppressing the luteinizing hormone surge that triggers ovulation. It also induces changes in the endometrium, making the uterine environment less suitable for implantation of a fertilized egg.
What is the usual dose of Levonorgestrel Naari?+
The specific dose of Levonorgestrel Naari is determined by the prescribing healthcare professional. In emergency contraception, a single oral tablet is commonly used, but the exact regimen, timing, and any repeat dosing must be set by a qualified prescriber based on individual circumstances.
Is Levonorgestrel Naari safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?+
Levonorgestrel Naari is not intended for use during an established pregnancy and should be avoided if pregnancy is confirmed. While limited data suggest minimal transfer into breast milk, breastfeeding individuals should discuss potential risks and benefits with their healthcare provider before use.
How do I order Levonorgestrel Naari from GNH USA?+
To order Levonorgestrel Naari, submit an enquiry on the product page at gnh-usa.com, specifying the required quantity. GNH USA works with hospitals, pharmacies, and procurement teams worldwide, verifies trade or institutional credentials, and then provides pricing, availability, shipping details (including any cold‑chain requirements), and necessary import documentation.
How does Levonorgestrel Naari compare with other emergency contraceptives?+
Levonorgestrel Naari is a progestin‑based emergency contraceptive, typically effective up to 72 hours after intercourse. An alternative, ulipristal acetate, can be effective up to 120 hours and may retain efficacy later in the cycle. Both have similar safety profiles, but ulipristal may be preferred for later‑window use, while levonorgestrel remains widely available and cost‑effective.
How should Levonorgestrel Naari be stored and handled?+
Store Levonorgestrel Naari below 25 °C in its original packaging, protecting it from moisture and direct sunlight. Keep the tablets out of reach of children and do not use the product if the packaging is damaged or the tablets appear discolored.
How is Levonorgestrel Naari administered?+
Levonorgestrel Naari is taken orally as a single tablet. The tablet should be swallowed whole with water, preferably as soon as possible after unprotected intercourse. No special preparation or food restrictions are required, but taking it with food may reduce nausea.
What are the most serious risks associated with Levonorgestrel Naari?+
Serious but rare risks include severe allergic reactions (anaphylaxis), persistent abdominal pain, chest pain, visual disturbances, and rare thromboembolic events. If any of these symptoms occur, seek immediate medical attention. Prompt reporting of severe side effects helps ensure appropriate care.
Who should not use Levonorgestrel Naari?+
Individuals with a known hypersensitivity to levonorgestrel or any tablet excipients should avoid the product. It is also contraindicated in women who are already pregnant, have active severe liver disease, or have a history of thromboembolic disorders without medical guidance. Consultation with a healthcare professional is essential before use.
