Who qualifies for treatment

Our EU-licensed doctors carefully assess each patient to ensure Levonorgestrel is the right and safe option. They look for specific criteria, including:

• The timing of unprotected intercourse: Levonorgestrel is most effective when taken within 72 hours (3 days) of unprotected sex.
• Your medical history: Doctors review existing conditions, allergies, and current medications that might interact with Levonorgestrel.
• Your cycle stage: This helps determine the most effective emergency contraception and rule out existing pregnancy.

The doctor's clinical assessment is paramount to your safety and the effectiveness of the treatment. Our service is designed for emergency contraception only, not as a form of regular birth control.

What Levonorgestrel actually does (and doesn't do)

Levonorgestrel is an emergency contraceptive pill, commonly known as the 'morning-after pill.' It works primarily by delaying or inhibiting ovulation (the release of an egg from the ovary). If taken shortly after unprotected sex, it can prevent fertilisation.

Levonorgestrel is effective up to 72 hours (3 days) after unprotected intercourse, but its effectiveness decreases over time.

It is important to understand that Levonorgestrel:

• Does not protect against sexually transmitted infections (STIs).
• Does not act as an abortion pill; it will not work if you are already pregnant.
• Should not be used as a regular method of contraception.

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 changes (your next period might be earlier or later than expected, or lighter/heavier). These usually resolve within a few days.

You should seek immediate medical advice if you experience:

• Severe lower abdominal pain after taking the pill, as this could indicate an ectopic pregnancy.
• Any severe or unusual symptoms.
• Your period is more than 5 days late, or is unusually light or heavy.
