Product Overview
Levonelle One-Step is a single-tablet emergency contraceptive containing levonorgestrel 1500 micrograms, designed for use as soon as possible and within 72 hours after unprotected sex or contraceptive failure. It is most effective the sooner it is taken.
Levonelle One-Step is a single-tablet emergency contraceptive containing levonorgestrel 1500 micrograms. It is intended for use within 72 hours (3 days) of unprotected sex or if your usual contraceptive method has failed, such as a missed pill, condom split, or other contraceptive accident. It works best the sooner it is taken, ideally within 12 hours.
Levonelle One-Step contains a synthetic hormone-like substance called levonorgestrel. According to the patient leaflet, it prevents about 84% of expected pregnancies when taken within 72 hours of unprotected sex. It is thought to work by helping to stop the ovaries from releasing an egg and by helping to prevent sperm from fertilising an egg that may already have been released.
This medicine is for emergency contraception only. It does not provide ongoing contraception, does not protect against sexually transmitted infections, and does not work if you are already pregnant. If you have unprotected sex again after taking it and before your next period, it will not continue to protect you from pregnancy.
Each pack contains one round, white tablet marked with “G00” on one side.
