Levosert

Levonorgestrel, the active ingredient in Levosert, is a progestogen presented as a 52 mg intrauterine system for intrauterine use. It provides long‑acting reversible contraception for women of reproductive age. GNH USA supplies Levosert as a licensed, GDP‑compliant international pharmaceutical supplier serving hospitals, pharmacies and clinics worldwide.

Levosert, a levonorgestrel‑based intrauterine system, is used for hormonal contraceptive control.

Long‑acting reversible contraception: provides up to five years of pregnancy prevention without daily dosing. Prevention of unintended pregnancy: continuously releases low‑dose levonorgestrel to inhibit fertilisation. Management of menstrual bleeding: can reduce the volume of menstrual bleeding in some users.

Levosert may cause a range of adverse reactions. Monitoring and prompt reporting of any symptoms are recommended.

Common Side Effects: - Irregular bleeding or spotting - Amenorrhea (absence of periods) - Cervical discharge - Abdominal pain or cramps

Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Uterine perforation - IUD expulsion - Pelvic inflammatory disease (rare) - Ectopic pregnancy (if pregnancy occurs) - Severe allergic reaction (rash, hives, swelling)

Before insertion of Levosert, certain precautions should be observed to ensure safety and effectiveness.

Screen for pregnancy: confirm the patient is not pregnant prior to insertion. Assess uterine anatomy: perform ultrasound if abnormalities are suspected. Check for active infection: treat any pelvic infection before placement. Consider contraindications: avoid use in women with known or suspected malignancy, severe liver disease, or thrombophilia. Counsel on follow‑up: schedule a post‑insertion check to verify correct positioning. Store at ambient temperature: keep in original packaging, protect from moisture and direct sunlight.

Levosert may interact with other medicines that affect hormone metabolism or uterine environment.

Major Interactions (Avoid): - Enzyme‑inducing antiepileptics (e.g., carbamazepine, phenytoin): may reduce levonorgestrel efficacy. - Rifampicin: decreases hormone levels, compromising contraceptive effect.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely): - Certain antibiotics (e.g., tetracycline): may slightly lower contraceptive reliability. - Antifungal azoles (e.g., ketoconazole): can increase levonorgestrel concentrations. - Herbal supplements such as St. John’s wort: may reduce hormonal effectiveness.
