Who qualifies for treatment

The doctor reviews your case to ensure Levonorgestrel is safe and appropriate for you. This includes assessing:

• The timing of unprotected intercourse (Levonorgestrel is effective within 72 hours).
• Your menstrual cycle stage.
• Any relevant medical history or current medications that might contraindicate use.
• Whether emergency contraception is truly indicated.

The doctor's primary concern is your safety and the effectiveness of the treatment.

What Levonorgestrel actually does (and doesn't do)

Levonorgestrel is an emergency contraceptive, commonly known as the 'morning-after pill.' It works by delaying or inhibiting ovulation (the release of an egg from the ovary). If an egg has already been released, it may prevent fertilisation or implantation. It is crucial to understand that Levonorgestrel:

• Is effective within 72 hours (3 days) of unprotected sex. For protection up to 120 hours (5 days), ulipristal (ellaOne) may be considered.
• Is NOT a regular method of contraception.
• Will NOT interrupt an existing pregnancy (it is NOT an abortion pill).
• 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 include:

• Nausea or vomiting
• Headache
• Abdominal pain
• Breast tenderness
• Dizziness
• Fatigue
• Changes to your next period (it may be earlier, later, or different than usual)

If you vomit within three hours of taking Levonorgestrel, you may need to take another dose. Consult a doctor or pharmacist immediately if you experience severe abdominal pain, unusual vaginal bleeding, or suspect you might be pregnant despite taking the pill.
