Beskrivelse

NorLevo er en nødprevensjonspille produsert av HRA Pharma. Den hjelper til med å forhindre graviditet etter ubeskyttet samleie eller prevensjonssvikt. Den tas som en enkeldose tablett, så snart som mulig, helst innen 12 timer og senest 72 timer etter hendelsen.

NorLevo inneholder levonorgestrel, et hormon som hovedsakelig virker ved å forsinke eller forhindre eggløsning og redusere sjansen for befruktning. Jo tidligere den tas, desto mer effektiv er den.

NorLevo er et pålitelige alternativ for nødprevensjon, men den bør ikke brukes som en vanlig prevensjonsmetode. Den vil ikke virke hvis du allerede er gravid. Etter å ha tatt NorLevo er det viktig å fortsette å bruke en vanlig prevensjonsmetode for å være beskyttet i fremtiden.

Ingredienser

Levonorgestrel, a synthetic form of the hormone progesterone.

Bivirkninger

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

Ofte stilte spørsmål

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.
