...can obtain a prescription for Levonelle from your GP but as it was a Saturday I had to purchase the tablet over the counter. Fortunately it became legal to sell Levonelle to persons over the age of 16 a few years ago but it's important to note that not all pharmacies agree with this policy and some either don't stock it or refuse to sell it over the counter without a prescription. This is because some pharmacists have taken the view that Levonelle ...

(You must not take Levonelle twice in one cycle) Am I taking any other medication? ...

Review of Levonelle Morning After Pill

...go and have one!! Levonelle is best known for being the morning after pill. The morning after pill can be taken up to 72 after sex to protect against an unwanted pregnancy, should anything happen, such as a condom ripping, forgetting to the pill etc. The morning can now be bought over the counter at your local pharmacy after much consultation and controversy, or you can simply go to your local family planning clinic or go and see your GP. I have ...
...This is to make sure Levonelle doesn’t react with anything you may have taken. My doctor then took my blood pressure, as there is a history of it in my family, and gave me the once over just to check that I was okay and he also told me to carry on taking my usual contraceptive pill as normal before explaining to me all about Levonelle and the side affects.

It can stop an egg being released, stop sperm from fertilising an egg or stop a fertilised egg from attaching itself to the lining of your womb. It is not designed to be a regular ...

If you vomit within three hours of taking Levonelle, you are recommended to go and get another tablet and take it again. The hormones Levonelle contain can also affect your cycle, making your period late, early or painful. ...

Review of Levonelle Morning After Pill

The misleadingly named Morning after pill can actually be taken up to 72 hours after unprotected sexual intercourse. Obviously the sooner it is taken the more effective it will be. As with any contraceptive device it is not 100% effective. Levonelle-2 is in fact only 85% effective and the effectiveness of it diminishes as the clock ticks away! Levonelle-2 is the latest brand of morning after pills on the market containing 750mg of the hormone progesterone. ...
...12 hours apart. It is imparative that you take it 12 hours apart for it to work. One word of warning actually look at what time you are taking the first dose as you could end up having to set the alarm clock for the wee hours of the morning! As with any contraceptive device it is available free on prescription from your GP or Family planning clinic. Levonelle-2 is also available over the counter at chemists for a fee of £20. Expect to be asked some ...

I am just reviewing the product on the basis of how it works, how reliable it is and how it can be obtained.

This drops to 85% after 24 hours and 58% after 48 hours…so don’t delay! Levonelle, which is manufactured by Schering, contains only progestogen (not oestrogen) and side-effects are generally less severe than with the earlier types of PCP.The dose consists of two pills, one to be taken as soon as possible and ...

I was meant to be going home for a weekend, leaving my girlfriend at her house (where I was staying at the time) when 'it' happened. Durex not being the clingiest of materials sort of, well.... you get the picture. Anyway, I am my girlfriend's first. Not that it makes any difference but just ...

We now have an anxious wait til her period starts and, as luck would have it, she's due to jet off on holiday with her friends that week so will be unable to let me know either way. Oh, the joys of sex! The ironic thing is she's been prescribed microgynon (a contraceptive pill) and is only waiting on a blood pressure monitoring kit from the doctor (over a week ...

...small square package that contained Levonelle 1 in it in my pocket. Levonelle - 1 is as its name suggest - a one tablet contraceptive. It works most efficiently the sooner you take it. The leaflet I received said it was most effective within 12 hours of unsafe sex. But I have later found out that its efficiency is counted by days: 1st day: 96% 2nd day: 85% 3rd day: 58% So the sooner - the better. Although they do not know the proper way the ...

...hours after unprotected intercourse. Secondly Levonelle is not an abortion pill. Levonelle consists of two tablets that are taken at the same time. Previous versions of the morning after pill, meant you had to take one pill pray you didn't vomit due to the excess hormones in your system and then take another pill 12 hours later. Thankfully this is now a thing of the past. Levonelle works in may different ways depending where you are in your cycle. ...
...that makes many people feel Levonelle is an abortion pill, but you could argue that any woman who has a coil fitted is doing exactly the same as a coil stops a fertilized egg from embedding into the lining of the womb. Levonelle contains high doses of a synthetic hormone which is found in many versions of the normal mini pill contraceptive pill. As with all hormonal pills it does have side effects, which I will discuss later on. Should you find ...

Review of Levonelle Morning After Pill

The morning after pill (or PCP), is a pill which is to be taken within 72 hours after unprotected sexual intercourse. The pill stops a pregnancy been able to take place by either stopping an egg from been released into the uterus, or by making the walls uninhabitable. The morning after pill is also for women who are on the contraceptive pill and have been sick and there is a possibility of a pregnancy occuring. Unlike many think, the PCP is NOT a ...
...in the first place, let me make this clear, if a pregnancy has already occured, this pill will NOT abort the baby. The PCP is available from your local family planning clinic, where the morning after pill is free, or if you cannot go to a clinic for whatever reasons, the pill is also available from most Pharmasists, but you can expect to pay around £20 for it from these places...so I suggest going to your local family planning clinic, where a nurse ...

Review of Levonelle Morning After Pill

Many people are unaware that the "morning after pill" can be taken within 72 hours of having unprotected sex. With most types of pill you have to take 2 pills, then 12 hours later take 2 more. So if you take it, remember to set your alarm or leave a note reminding you to take the second two pills. Sometimes the morning after pill can make you vomit. If you are sick within a few hours of taking a dose, you will need to take 2 more pills. They may ...

Levonelle is licenced for use upto 72 hours postcoitally, but should be taken as soon as it is obtained, with the second tablet twelve hours later (and not more than 16 hours). The current advice if you vomit within three hours of taking the tablet is to take the second tablet immediately and seek medical advice to obtain a substitute second tablet. ...

Cravings for wired things that you once hated...Then it hit's you...What if I'm pregnant?!! No that cant be possible. But can it? A good friend of mine one time, came up to me as pale as a sheet.

She told me. "That means I have to get up at two o'clock' in the morning!" She said, slightly depressed. The ...

...of some help here. Levonelle (2 in this case) is a 2 dose morning after pill. The first pill is taken ASAP, the 2nd is taken 12 hours afterwards. Its as easy as that. Its a very large dose of hormones that prevents ovulation if it has not already occurred this cycle and may induce a period. They can be taken up to 72 hours after unprotected sex but the closer you take them after love making, the more effective they are. (IUDs can be inserted up ...

I felt I owed it to myself to get something sorted incase I had had sex....at the time willingly or otherwise. At 14, its a terrifying experience to go through. I can guarantee you, if you ever go to the docs for the MAP, there will be every baby in your town in the surgery or a load of old women will stare at you like you've got the ...
