What is Levonelle?
Levonelle is an emergency contraception pill or ‘morning after pill’ and is taken after unprotected sex to prevent unplanned pregnancy. The active ingredient in Levonelle prevents the release of the egg from the ovary to prevent fertilisation by sperm (male reproductive cells). This treatment should be taken within 72 hours following unprotected sex to prevent pregnancy and is more effective at preventing pregnancy when taken sooner.
How does Levonelle work to prevent unplanned pregnancy?
Levonelle works by preventing or delaying the release of the egg from the ovary, therefore, it cannot be fertilised by the sperm. The active ingredient mimics the natural hormone progesterone, which is produced in the ovaries. It is important to take Levonelle as soon as possible to maximise its effectiveness. However, Levonelle is effective when taken within 72 hours (3 days). The Levonelle pill does not interfere with other regular methods of contraception.
How effective is Levonelle at preventing unplanned pregnancy?
It is important to take Levonelle as soon as possible as its effectiveness decreases with time.
When taken within the first 24 hours: 95% effective
When taken within 24 - 48 hours: 85% effective
When taken within 48 - 72 hours: 58% effective
After 72 hours has passed since unprotected sex, Levonelle may not work at all. It is important to note that you do not need to wait until the morning after to take Levonelle as the ‘morning after pill’ phrase may suggest.
How do I take Levonelle?
One Levonelle pill should be taken as soon as possible with water.
Levonelle should be taken as soon as possible following unprotected sex to maximise its effectiveness.
After 72 hours have passed, the efficacy of Levonelle is unknown and the pill may be entirely ineffective. Following 72 hours, you should consult your GP for additional contraceptive advice. If you have unprotected sex after taking Levonelle, it will not prevent pregnancy.
If you vomit or have diarrhoea within 2 hours of taking the Levonelle pill it may not have been absorbed properly by the gut which can compromise its efficacy. Therefore, you should seek professional advice from an expert and obtain additional emergency contraception.
