What is Levonelle One Step?
Levonelle One Step is an emergency contraceptive that can be used after unprotected sex or where a contraceptive method has failed. This type of contraception is often called 'the morning-after pill'.
Each pack of Levonelle One Step contains a complete treatment which is one round, white tablet. The tablet contains 1500 microgram of levonorgestrel, which is the active ingredient.
Levonelle One Step also contains the inactive ingredients: potato starch, maize starch, colloidal silica anhydrous, magnesium stearate (E572), talc (E533b), lactose monohydrate.
How does Levonelle One Step work?
Levonelle One Step prevents about 84% of expected pregnancies when it is taken within 72 hours (3 days) of unprotected sex. Levonelle One Step will not prevent a pregnancy in every instance, but the tablet is more effective the sooner after unprotected sex it is taken (it is better to take it within 12 hours rather than delay until the third day).
Levonelle One Step is thought to work by:
stopping your ovaries from releasing an egg;
preventing sperm from fertilising any egg you may have already released; or
stopping a fertilised egg from attaching itself to your womb lining.
So Levonelle One Step stops a pregnancy before it is established. It does not work if you are already pregnant.
How to take Levonelle One Step
Take the tablet as soon as possible, preferably within 12 hours, but no later than 72 hours (3 days) after you have had unprotected sex. Swallow the tablet whole, with water if necessary. Do not delay taking the tablet. The tablet works better the sooner you take it after having unprotected sex.
If you are already using a regular method of contraception such as the contraceptive pill, you can continue to take this at your regular times.
