Does Levonelle The Affect Smear Result?

Hello, I was wondering if a smear result could be affected by taking emergency contraceptive pill Levonelle? I took it 15 before my smear test and had an early presumed period. I have since had very slight spotting after my next period also but am concerned that the smear results may be affected? I neglected (not purposely) to inform my doctor at that time that i had taken levonelle. thank you very much for response.

Hello.
Thanks for choosing HealthcareMagic forum.
Taking emergency contraceptive pill does not affect the smear results at all. The irregular spotting you are now having is a side effect of this emergency pill and it will take some time to subside.There is nothing to worry.
