Who qualifies for treatment
The doctor assesses your eligibility for Levonorgestrel based on your medical history, the timing of unprotected intercourse, and any potential contraindications. Key factors include:
- Timing: Levonorgestrel is most effective when taken within 72 hours (3 days) of unprotected sex.
- Medical History: The doctor reviews conditions like severe liver disease, certain intestinal disorders, or allergies to the medication's components.
- Current Medications: Some drugs can reduce the effectiveness of Levonorgestrel, and the doctor will assess this.
- Body Weight: While not an absolute contraindication, effectiveness may be reduced in individuals with higher body weight or BMI.
The doctor's clinical assessment ensures the treatment is safe and appropriate for your specific situation.
What Levonorgestrel actually does (and doesn't do)
Levonorgestrel is an emergency contraceptive, commonly known as the 'morning-after pill.' It works primarily by delaying or inhibiting ovulation. If ovulation has already occurred, it may prevent fertilisation or implantation, though this is less likely.
Important facts about Levonorgestrel:
- It is effective within 72 hours of unprotected intercourse.
- It is NOT an abortion pill; it will not work if you are already pregnant.
- It does NOT protect against sexually transmitted infections (STIs).
- It is NOT a regular form of contraception and should only be used in emergencies.
Side effects and when to stop
Like all medications, Levonorgestrel can cause side effects, though not everyone experiences them. Common side effects include nausea, abdominal pain, fatigue, headache, and menstrual cycle disturbances. These are usually mild and temporary.
You should seek immediate medical attention if you experience:
- Severe lower abdominal pain (especially if accompanied by shoulder pain or dizziness, which could indicate an ectopic pregnancy).
- Unusual or prolonged vaginal bleeding.
- Symptoms of an allergic reaction, such as rash, itching, severe dizziness, or trouble breathing.
