The Levonelle morning-after pill is an effective pregnancy prevention treatment which you take up to 72 hours (3 days) after unprotected sexual intercourse. It postpones the hormone transition that initiates ovulation (egg release), decreasing the chance of pregnancy following sexual intercourse. This emergency contraceptive pill is most effective when taken sooner, within 72 hours. It's suitable for most women seeking emergency contraception and contains the active ingredient levonorgestrel (a progesterone hormone).

The Levonelle pill offers an effective method of pregnancy prevention taken after unprotected sex, or if your chosen contraceptive method has failed. The emergency contraceptive contains levonorgestrel, a synthetic version of the progesterone hormone produced by the ovaries.
Once taken, the Levonelle morning after pill prevents the ovaries from releasing an egg, highly reducing the chances of pregnancy.
As an emergency contraception, the Levonelle morning-after pill is taken in one single dose up to 72 hours after intercourse. To ensure you receive the right treatment, a member of our team will ask you when intercourse occurred, as well as your weight, to ensure you receive the most appropriate emergency contraception.
You will need a double dose of levonorgestrel if you weigh over 70 kilograms or have a BMI over 26. This is because having a higher body weight/BMI is thought to reduce the effectiveness of oral emergency contraceptives.
