WHAT NORLEVO 1.5 MG TABLET IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
NorLevo is an oral emergency contraceptive.
WHAT IS EMERGENCY CONTRACEPTION?
Emergency contraception is a rescue method intended to prevent
pregnancy after unprotected intercourse or
in case of failure of a contraceptive method.
WHEN SHOULD EMERGENCY CONTRACEPTION BE USED?
This contraceptive method should be used as soon as possible,
preferably within 12 hours and no later than a
period of 72 hours (3 days), after unprotected sexual intercourse or
failure of a contraceptive method. It is
more effective if you take it as soon as possible after unprotected
sex. NorLevo can only prevent you
becoming pregnant if you take it within 72 hours of unprotected sex.
It does not work if you are already
pregnant. If you have unprotected sex after taking NorLevo, it will
not stop you from becoming pregnant.
NorLevo has been shown to prevent 52% to 85% of expected pregnancies.
If you suspect that you may become pregnant for one of the following
reasons:

if you have had sexual intercourse without contraception;

if you have forgotten to take your contraceptive pill on
