Norlevo Levonorgestrel 1.5 mg is a single-dose emergency contraception tablet designed to reduce the risk of pregnancy after unprotected sex or contraceptive failure. This oral tablet contains levonorgestrel 1.5 mg, a progestogen used for many years in hormonal contraception.
- Single tablet taken as soon as possible after unprotected sex, and always within 72 hours (3 days).
- Works mainly by delaying or inhibiting ovulation so that fertilisation is less likely if it has not yet occurred.
- Contains levonorgestrel, a synthetic hormone related to natural progesterone with a well-established safety profile.
- Compact one-tablet format that is easy to carry and take when needed.
- Intended for occasional emergency use only and not as a regular contraceptive method; does not protect against sexually transmitted infections.
This is an over-the-counter medicine. Always read the leaflet carefully before use and speak to your pharmacist or doctor if you are unsure, have existing medical conditions, take other medicines, are breastfeeding or need to use emergency contraception more than once in a cycle.
