How it works: get your consultation in 4 steps

Who qualifies for treatment

The doctor looks for specific criteria to ensure Levonorgestrel is safe and appropriate for you. This includes reviewing the timing of unprotected intercourse, your menstrual cycle stage, and your medical history. Levonorgestrel is an emergency contraceptive to be taken within 72 hours of unprotected sex. The doctor will assess if this timeframe is met and if there are any contraindications based on your health information.

What Levonorgestrel actually does (and doesn't do)

Levonorgestrel is an emergency contraceptive, often called the 'morning-after pill.' It works by delaying or preventing ovulation, or by preventing fertilisation of an egg. It is most effective when taken as soon as possible after unprotected sex, within 72 hours. It is important to understand that Levonorgestrel is not a regular form of birth control, nor is it an abortion pill. It will not terminate an existing pregnancy.

Side effects and when to stop

Common side effects of Levonorgestrel can include nausea, abdominal pain, fatigue, headache, and changes in your menstrual bleeding. These are usually mild and temporary. If you experience severe abdominal pain, unusual vaginal bleeding, or suspect you might be pregnant despite taking the pill, you should seek immediate medical attention. Always follow the doctor's instructions and consult a healthcare professional if you have concerns.
