Medication details

Description

NorLevo is an emergency contraceptive pill manufactured by HRA Pharma. It helps prevent pregnancy after unprotected intercourse or contraceptive failure. It is taken as a single-dose tablet, as soon as possible, ideally within 12 hours and no later than 72 hours after the event.

NorLevo contains levonorgestrel, a hormone that works mainly by delaying or preventing ovulation and reducing the chance of fertilisation. The earlier it is taken, the more effective it is.

NorLevo is a reliable option for emergency contraception, but it should not be used as a regular contraceptive method. It will not work if you are already pregnant. After taking NorLevo, it is important to continue using a regular form of contraception to remain protected in the future.

Ingredients

Levonorgestrel, a synthetic form of the hormone progesterone.

Side effects

Nausea, headaches, fatigue, dizziness, abdominal pain, irregular bleeding, or spotting.

Warnings

NorLevo carries certain risks that users should be aware of. It does not protect against sexually transmitted infections and should not be used as a regular method of contraception. Users experiencing severe nausea, vomiting within three hours of taking the tablet, or unusual bleeding should consult a healthcare professional. This medication can affect the menstrual cycle and should be used with caution in women with known hormonal disorders. Pregnant women should not use NorLevo. Breastfeeding women may use it, but any adverse effects on the infant should be monitored. Always consult a healthcare professional before taking NorLevo or if there is any uncertainty about its use.

Frequently Asked Questions

How should I take NorLevo as soon as possible?

It is most effective when taken as soon as possible, ideally within 12 hours, but it can still be effective up to 72 hours (3 days) after unprotected intercourse.

Can I use NorLevo if I am breastfeeding?

Yes, you can. Small amounts pass into breast milk, but this is considered safe. You can continue breastfeeding as normal.

Will NorLevo affect my next period?

Your next period may come a few days earlier or later than expected. If it is more than 5 days late, or unusually light or heavy, take a pregnancy test.

Can I use NorLevo more than once during the same cycle?

It is not dangerous, but it is not recommended, as it may disrupt your menstrual cycle. If you need emergency contraception more than once, speak with your pharmacist or doctor to discuss a suitable regular contraceptive method.

Does NorLevo protect me for the rest of my cycle?

No, NorLevo only protects against the single episode of unprotected intercourse for which it was taken. It does not protect against further intercourse later in the same cycle, so it is recommended to use condoms or another reliable contraceptive method until your next period.
