Norlevo Levonorgestrel

Norlevo Levonorgestrel is an emergency contraceptive medicine that contains the active ingredient levonorgestrel, a synthetic hormone similar to the natural hormone progesterone. It is used to help prevent pregnancy after unprotected sex or when a contraceptive method has failed, such as a broken condom. It mainly works by delaying or preventing ovulation (the release of an egg).

Norlevo is most effective when taken as soon as possible after unprotected intercourse, usually within the recommended time period stated on the product instructions. It does not terminate an existing pregnancy and is not intended to replace regular contraception. Possible side effects include nausea, abdominal pain, tiredness, headache, dizziness, and changes in the next menstrual period.

Norlevo Levonorgestrel should be used as an emergency contraceptive after unprotected sex or contraceptive failure. It should be taken as soon as possible for the best effectiveness, following the instructions provided with the medicine or by a healthcare professional.

The tablet is usually taken as a single dose with water. If vomiting occurs soon after taking it, medical advice should be sought because another dose may be needed. It should not be used as a regular birth control method and should only be used when emergency protection is needed.

After taking Norlevo, the next menstrual period may come earlier or later than expected. Possible side effects include nausea, stomach pain, headache, tiredness, dizziness, and breast tenderness. Seek medical advice if your period is significantly delayed or unusual symptoms occur.
