What are Levonorgestrel Tablets?

Levonorgestrel Tablets are a form of emergency contraception designed to prevent pregnancy after unprotected intercourse or contraceptive failure, such as a split condom. Commonly referred to as the "Plan B" pill, Levonorgestrel contains the active ingredient levonorgestrel, a progestogen hormone that helps reduce the risk of pregnancy when taken as directed.

How Do Levonorgestrel Tablets Work?

Levonorgestrel Tablets work primarily by disrupting the hormonal processes necessary for conception. The active ingredient, levonorgestrel, is a synthetic progestogen that works by:

  • Inhibiting Ovulation: Preventing or delaying the release of an egg from the ovaries.
  • Thickening Cervical Mucus: Making it more difficult for sperm to travel through the cervix and reach the egg.
  • Altering the Uterine Lining: Making it less suitable for implantation should fertilization occur.

Taking Levonorgestrel as soon as possible after unprotected intercourse can significantly reduce the risk of unwanted pregnancy.

How to Take Levonorgestrel Tablets

To use Levonorgestrel Tablets effectively, follow these instructions:

  1. Dosage: Take one 1500 microgram tablet of Levonorgestrel as soon as possible after unprotected intercourse or contraceptive failure. The tablet can be taken up to 72 hours (3 days) after the incident, but it is more effective the sooner it is taken.
  2. Administration: Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water. Levonorgestrel can be taken with or without food. Do not crush, chew, or split the tablet.
  3. Timing: For best results, take Levonorgestrel as soon as possible after the incident. Its effectiveness decreases over time, so prompt action is crucial.

Who Should Use Levonorgestrel Tablets?

Levonorgestrel Tablets are suitable for women who need emergency contraception following unprotected intercourse, a split condom, or other contraceptive failures. It is an effective option for those seeking to avoid pregnancy in emergency situations. Consult your healthcare provider if you are unsure about the suitability of Levonorgestrel for your situation, especially if you have other health conditions or are on medications that may interact with it.

Potential Side Effects and Precautions

Levonorgestrel Tablets are generally well-tolerated, but some users may experience side effects. Common side effects include nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, fatigue, headache, and dizziness. Some women may also experience temporary changes in their menstrual cycle, such as spotting or a delay in their period.

To minimize side effects, follow the prescribed dosage and take the tablet as soon as possible after the incident. If you vomit within 2 hours of taking Levonorgestrel, contact your healthcare provider, as you may need to take another dose. If you experience severe or persistent side effects or if your period is significantly delayed, seek medical advice.

Levonorgestrel is not intended for routine contraceptive use and does not protect against sexually transmitted infections (STIs).
