What is Levonorgestrel?

Levonorgestrel, the active ingredient in Levosolo, is a progestogen presented as an oral tablet for oral use. It is employed as emergency contraception to prevent pregnancy after unprotected intercourse in women of reproductive age. The medication works by delaying ovulation and modifying the uterine lining, thereby reducing the chance of implantation.

GNH USA supplies Levosolo as a licensed, GDP‑compliant international pharmaceutical supplier serving hospitals, pharmacies and clinics worldwide.

What is Levonorgestrel used for?

Levosolo (levonorgestrel) is a progestogen used in the reproductive health pathway for emergency contraception.

- Emergency contraception: prevents pregnancy after unprotected sex when taken within the approved time window. - Post‑coital pregnancy prevention: provides a single‑dose option to reduce the risk of conception. - Hormonal contraception component: may be included in combined oral contraceptive regimens for regular cycle control.

What are the side effects of Levonorgestrel?

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

Common Side Effects: - Nausea: mild to moderate stomach upset. - Abdominal pain or cramps: discomfort in the lower abdomen. - Fatigue: feeling unusually tired. - Headache: mild to moderate head pain. - Dizziness: sensation of light‑headedness. - Menstrual changes: spotting or altered timing of the next period.

Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Severe allergic reaction (anaphylaxis): difficulty breathing, swelling of face or throat. - Chest pain or palpitations: may indicate cardiac involvement. - Persistent vomiting or vomiting blood: requires immediate medical attention. - Severe abdominal pain: could signal ectopic pregnancy. - Thrombosis: rare clot formation in veins or arteries.

What precautions apply to Levonorgestrel?

Before using Levosolo, consider the following safety measures.

- Timing of intercourse: ensure the product is taken within the recommended window after unprotected sex. - Medical history review: disclose any history of hormonal disorders, liver disease, or clotting disorders. - Pregnancy status: avoid use if already pregnant; consult a healthcare professional. - Concomitant medications: inform the prescriber about enzyme‑inducing drugs that may reduce effectiveness. - Keep out of reach of children: store securely to prevent accidental ingestion. - Store at ambient temperature: keep in the original pack, protect from moisture and direct sunlight.

What does Levonorgestrel interact with?

Levosolo can interact with other medicines, affecting its efficacy or safety.

Major Interactions (Avoid): - Rifampin: strong enzyme inducer that markedly reduces levonorgestrel levels. - St. John’s wort: herbal inducer that may lower contraceptive effectiveness. - Anticonvulsants (phenytoin, carbamazepine): increase metabolism of levonorgestrel. - Griseofulvin: reduces plasma concentrations of levonorgestrel.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely): - Azole antifungals (ketoconazole, itraconazole): may increase levonorgestrel exposure. - Antiretrovirals (efavirenz): can lower effectiveness of levonorgestrel. - Combined hormonal contraceptives: concurrent use may require dosage adjustment or alternative methods.

Frequently asked questions

What is Levosolo used for?+
Levosolo contains levonorgestrel and is used as an emergency contraceptive to reduce the risk of pregnancy after unprotected sexual intercourse or contraceptive failure. It is intended for women of reproductive age who need a post‑coital option within the approved time frame.
How does levonorgestrel work in Levosolo?+
Levonorgestrel acts by binding to progesterone receptors, suppressing the luteinizing hormone surge and thereby preventing or delaying ovulation. It also alters the endometrial lining, making it less suitable for implantation of a fertilized egg.
What is the usual dose of Levosolo?+
The specific dose of Levosolo is determined by the prescribing healthcare professional based on regulatory guidelines and the timing of intercourse. Patients should follow the prescriber’s instructions and not alter the dose on their own.
Is Levosolo safe to use during pregnancy or breastfeeding?+

Levosolo should be stored at ambient temperature, below 25 °C. Keep the tablets in the original packaging, protect them from moisture and direct sunlight, and store them out of reach of children.
How is Levosolo administered?+
Levosolo is taken orally, usually as a single tablet taken as soon as possible after unprotected intercourse. It should be swallowed with water and not chewed or broken, unless otherwise directed by a healthcare professional.
What are the most serious risks associated with Levosolo?+
Serious but rare risks include severe allergic reactions (anaphylaxis), chest pain, persistent vomiting, severe abdominal pain that could indicate ectopic pregnancy, and rare thrombotic events. Any of these symptoms require immediate medical attention.
Who should not use Levosolo?+
Levosolo should be avoided by women who are already pregnant, have a known hypersensitivity to levonorgestrel or any tablet excipients, or have a history of severe liver disease, clotting disorders, or hormone‑sensitive cancers unless advised by a physician.
