The consultation costs a flat 35 €.

How it works: get your consultation in 4 steps

  2. A licensed EU doctor privately reviews your case. If the doctor determines that treatment is NOT appropriate for you, your fee is refunded automatically — there is no risk.

Who qualifies for treatment

Our EU-licensed doctors assess each case individually to ensure Levonorgestrel is safe and appropriate for you. They review your medical history, current medications, and the timing of unprotected intercourse. Levonorgestrel is effective as emergency contraception when taken within 72 hours (3 days) of unprotected sex.

  • The doctor considers the time elapsed since unprotected intercourse.
  • Your menstrual cycle stage is part of the assessment.
  • Any pre-existing conditions or medications that might contraindicate Levonorgestrel are reviewed.
  • The doctor ensures you understand it is emergency contraception and not a regular birth control method.

The doctor remains the gatekeeper; a prescription is issued only if clinically appropriate.

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, preventing the release of an egg and thus fertilization. It is most effective when taken as soon as possible after unprotected intercourse, ideally within 72 hours.

Important: Levonorgestrel is not a regular contraceptive method, nor is it an abortion pill. It will not work if you are already pregnant, and it does not protect against sexually transmitted infections (STIs).

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, Levonorgestrel can cause side effects, though not everyone experiences them. Common side effects may include nausea, headache, abdominal pain, tiredness, breast tenderness, or irregular bleeding. These are usually mild and temporary.

If you experience severe abdominal pain, unusual vaginal bleeding, or if your period is more than a week late, contact a doctor immediately. If you vomit within three hours of taking Levonorgestrel, you may need to take another dose.
