How it works — get your consultation in 4 steps

  1. Fill the online medical questionnaire: Complete a brief questionnaire about your medical history and situation (2–3 minutes). Pay the 35 € consultation fee securely.
  2. Doctor reviews your case: A licensed EU doctor privately reviews your information. If the doctor determines the treatment is not appropriate for you, your fee is refunded automatically — no risk.

  4. Collect your medication: Print the PDF or show it on your phone. Present it at any pharmacy in the EU to collect your Levonorgestrel. Pharmacists retain the right to refuse, and may dispense a locally-marketed equivalent.

Who qualifies for treatment

Our EU-licensed doctors assess each case individually. They look for specific criteria to ensure Levonorgestrel is safe and appropriate for your situation. This includes:

  • The timing of unprotected intercourse: Levonorgestrel is effective within 72 hours (3 days).
  • Your medical history, including any allergies or existing conditions.
  • Current medications you are taking.
  • Your menstrual cycle stage.

The doctor's priority is your health and safety, ensuring emergency contraception is suitable for you.

What Levonorgestrel actually does (and doesn't do)

Levonorgestrel is an emergency contraceptive. It works by preventing or delaying ovulation, which means it stops the release of an egg from the ovary. It may also prevent the fertilisation of an egg or implantation of a fertilised egg in the uterus.

  • Timeliness is key: It is most effective when taken as soon as possible after unprotected intercourse, ideally within 72 hours.
  • Not a regular contraceptive: It is not intended for routine birth control.
  • Not an abortion pill: It will not work if you are already pregnant.
  • No STI protection: It does not protect against sexually transmitted infections.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, Levonorgestrel can cause side effects. Most are mild and temporary:

  • Nausea or vomiting
  • Headache
  • Dizziness
  • Breast tenderness
  • Abdominal pain
  • Irregular bleeding or spotting

If you experience severe abdominal pain, heavy bleeding, or any concerning symptoms, contact a doctor immediately. If you vomit within three hours of taking Levonorgestrel, you may need to take another dose; consult your doctor.
