Frequently asked questions

What is Levosert used for?+
Levosert is a levonorgestrel‑releasing intrauterine system indicated for long‑acting reversible contraception. It provides up to three years of reliable birth control for women who prefer a low‑maintenance, progestogen‑only method.
How does levonorgestrel work in Levosert?+
Levonorgestrel is released locally from the device at a steady rate, thickening cervical mucus, impairing sperm motility, suppressing the endometrium, and potentially inhibiting ovulation. These actions together prevent fertilisation and implantation.
What is the usual dose of Levosert?+
Levosert is supplied as a single 52 mg intrauterine system that releases about 20 µg of levonorgestrel per day. The prescribing clinician determines placement and duration based on the patient’s needs.
Is Levosert safe to use during pregnancy or breastfeeding?+
Levosert must not be used by women who are pregnant. If pregnancy occurs, the device should be removed. Limited data exist for breastfeeding; clinicians usually advise caution and assess risks versus benefits.
How do I order Levosert from GNH USA?+
To order, submit an enquiry on the Levosert 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 and import documentation.
How does Levosert compare with other intrauterine contraceptives?+
Levosert delivers levonorgestrel, a progestogen‑only hormone, whereas copper IUDs rely on a non‑hormonal copper coil. Levosert often reduces menstrual bleeding and may cause lighter periods, while copper devices can increase bleeding. Both provide long‑term contraception but differ in side‑effect profiles.
What are the storage and handling requirements for Levosert?+
Levosert should be stored at room temperature below 25 °C, in its original sealed packaging, protected from moisture and direct sunlight. The device remains stable until the expiry date printed on the label.
How is Levoset administered?+
Levosert is inserted by a trained healthcare professional into the uterine cavity using a specialized inserter. The procedure is performed in a clinical setting under aseptic conditions, and the device remains in place for up to three years.
What are the most serious risks associated with Levosert?+
Serious risks include uterine perforation during insertion, expulsion of the device, and pelvic inflammatory disease. Women should seek immediate medical attention if they experience severe abdominal pain, abnormal bleeding, or signs of infection.
Who should not use Levosert?+
Levosert is contraindicated in women with active pelvic infection, unexplained vaginal bleeding, uterine anomalies, known or suspected pregnancy, or those who are allergic to levonorgestrel or the device’s polymer components.
