Levonorgestrel Teva

Levonorgestrel, the active ingredient in Levonorgestrel Teva, is a progestin presented as an oral tablet for oral use. It works by preventing ovulation and altering the uterine lining, providing both emergency contraception after unprotected intercourse and ongoing prevention of pregnancy.

GNH USA supplies Levonorgestrel Teva as a licensed, GDP‑compliant international pharmaceutical supplier serving pharmacies, hospitals, and clinics worldwide, ensuring consistent quality, regulatory compliance, and reliable delivery across markets.

Levonorgestrel acts on the hormonal regulation pathway to prevent pregnancy.
