What is Levonelle?
Levonelle is an emergency contraception pill or 'morning after pill' and is taken after unprotected sex to prevent unplanned pregnancy. Levonelle contains Levonorgestrel - a hormonal birth control medication for women which stops or delays the release of the egg from the ovary, preventing fertilisation by sperm (male reproductive cells). Levonelle should be taken within 72 hours following unprotected sex to prevent pregnancy and is more effective at preventing pregnancy if taken sooner.
How does Levonelle work to prevent unplanned pregnancy?
Levonelle works by mimicking the natural hormone progesterone to prevent or delay the release of the egg from the ovary so that it cannot be fertilised by sperm. 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
Levonelle may not be effective after 72 hours have passed since engaging in unprotected sex. Following 72 hours, you should consult your GP for additional contraceptive advice. If you have unprotected sex after taking Levonorgestrel, it will not prevent pregnancy.
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. Moreover, if you vomit or experience diarrhoea within 2 hours of taking the Levonelle pill, it may not have been absorbed properly by the gut which can compromise its efficacy. If this is the case, you should seek professional advice from an expert and obtain additional emergency contraception.
How do I take Levonelle?
One Levonelle pill should be taken as soon as possible with water following unprotected sex to maximise its effectiveness.
What is the difference between Levonelle and Levonorgestrel?
The main difference between Levonelle and Levonorgestrel is that Levonelle is branded and as a result more expensive. Levonelle is medically equivalent to its generic version (Levonorgestrel); they have the same active ingredient and work in exactly the same way.
