Levonelle is a highly successful form of contraception used to stop conception, usually after unprotected sex or contraceptive failure. This morning after pill works for up to 3 days (72 hours) of having sex and is most effective during the first 24 hours. Not to be confused with regular birth control pills that are taken on a continual daily basis, Levonelle is for emergency use only.
Levonelle has been shown to be 95% effective during the first 24 hours after sex. Clinical trials have also shown that during hours 25 - 48 it is 85% effective, but this drops to 58% effectiveness during 49 - 72 hours after sex. The Levonelle pill is safe for the vast majority of women to take and causes only mild side effects in some cases.
To buy Levonelle online you will need to fill in an online consultation, which is confidential. This is checked by one of our team of doctors. If they decide that you are suitable and safe to take it, a prescription will be sent to our pharmacy and Levonelle will be dispensed the same day.
Despite its proven effectiveness in clinical trials, the exact way that Levonelle works is not entirely understood. It’s thought that it works by preventing ovulation and fertilisation, and by also altering the wombs natural lining, depending on which stage of your menstrual cycle you are in. Levonelle will stop pregnancy from taking place; it will not be effective if you have already become pregnant.
Levonelle contains a one pill dose with 1.5 milligrams of levonorgestrel, an artificial hormone that has been used in contraceptive pills for more than 35 years.
You are not advised to use Levonelle if you are allergic to levonorgestrel. You are also not recommended to take this medication if you have liver disease, or any disease of the gut or bowel which might cause malabsorption.
When you fill out your consultation, be sure to include any details regarding any medications you are taking. If you are taking medication for TB, HIV, epilepsy or fungal infections, or taking a herbal supplement containing St John’s Wort, then you may not be able to use the Levonelle emergency contraceptive pill.
You may take Levonelle at any time during your menstrual cycle. Take the tablet whole with water as soon as you can after unprotected sex. If you are using a regular form of contraception, you should continue to use it. You can only take emergency contraception once per menstrual cycle; we recommend using a barrier contraceptive, such as condom, until your next menstrual cycle to minimise the risk against unplanned pregnancy.
Because Levonelle is only for emergency contraception, you should still use regular contraception after you have taken it. Levonelle can only be taken once per menstrual cycle.
You might experience mild side effects after taking this emergency contraceptive, the most common being nausea. Less common side effects you could experience include breast tenderness, headaches, stomach pains, diarrhoea, dizziness and tiredness. You might have your period later after taking Levonelle, and could experience some spotting or bleeding before your next period.
