Fungerar genom

Acting primarily by preventing or delaying ovulation, NorLevo can also make it more difficult for sperm to reach the egg or for a fertilized egg to implant in the uterine wall. These hormonal actions aim to interrupt the fertilization process after unprotected intercourse. This targeted approach provides an effective method of emergency contraception when used promptly and according to instructions.

Beskrivning

NorLevo är en nödkontraceptiv tablett tillverkad av HRA Pharma. Den hjälper till att förhindra graviditet efter oskyddat samlag eller preventivmedelsfel. Den tas som en engångsdos tablett, så snart som möjligt, helst inom 12 timmar och senast 72 timmar efter händelsen.

NorLevo innehåller levonorgestrel, ett hormon som främst verkar genom att fördröja eller förhindra ägglossning och minska chansen för befruktning. Ju tidigare den tas, desto mer effektiv är den.

NorLevo är ett pålitligt alternativ för nödkontraception, men det bör inte användas som en regelbunden preventivmetod. Den fungerar inte om du redan är gravid. Efter att ha tagit NorLevo är det viktigt att fortsätta använda en regelbunden form av preventivmedel för att förbli skyddad i framtiden.

Ingredienser

Levonorgestrel, a synthetic form of the hormone progesterone.

Biverkningar

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

Varningar

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.

Vanliga frågor

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.
