These hormonal actions aim to interrupt the fertilization process after unprotected intercourse.

Medicinoplysninger

Beskrivelse

NorLevo er en nødpræventionspille fremstillet af HRA Pharma. Den hjælper med at forhindre graviditet efter ubeskyttet samleje eller svigt af prævention. Den tages som en enkeldosis tablet, så hurtigt som muligt, helst inden for 12 timer og senest 72 timer efter hændelsen.

NorLevo indeholder levonorgestrel, et hormon der primært virker ved at forsinke eller forhindre ægløsning og reducere chancen for befrugtning. Jo tidligere den tages, desto mere effektiv er den.

NorLevo er en pålidelig mulighed for nødprævention, men den bør ikke bruges som en regelmæssig præventionsmetode. Den virker ikke, hvis du allerede er gravid. Efter at have taget NorLevo er det vigtigt at fortsætte med at bruge en almindelig form for prævention for at forblive beskyttet fremover.

Ingredienser

Levonorgestrel, a synthetic form of the hormone progesterone.

Bivirkninger

Nausea, headaches, fatigue, dizziness, abdominal pain, irregular bleeding, or spotting.

Advarsler

NorLevo carries certain risks that users should be aware of. It does not protect against sexually transmitted infections and should not be used as a regular method of contraception. Users experiencing severe nausea, vomiting within three hours of taking the tablet, or unusual bleeding should consult a healthcare professional. This medication can affect the menstrual cycle and should be used with caution in women with known hormonal disorders. Pregnant women should not use NorLevo. Breastfeeding women may use it, but any adverse effects on the infant should be monitored. Always consult a healthcare professional before taking NorLevo or if there is any uncertainty about its use.

Ofte stillede spørgsmål

How should I take NorLevo as soon as possible?

It is most effective when taken as soon as possible, ideally within 12 hours, but it can still be effective up to 72 hours (3 days) after unprotected intercourse.

Can I use NorLevo if I am breastfeeding?

Yes, you can. Small amounts pass into breast milk, but this is considered safe. You can continue breastfeeding as normal.

Will NorLevo affect my next period?

Your next period may come a few days earlier or later than expected. If it is more than 5 days late, or unusually light or heavy, take a pregnancy test.

Can I use NorLevo more than once during the same cycle?

It is not dangerous, but it is not recommended, as it may disrupt your menstrual cycle. If you need emergency contraception more than once, speak with your pharmacist or doctor to discuss a suitable regular contraceptive method.

Does NorLevo protect me for the rest of my cycle?

No, NorLevo only protects against the single episode of unprotected intercourse for which it was taken. It does not protect against further intercourse later in the same cycle, so it is recommended to use condoms or another reliable contraceptive method until your next period.
