Hello,

Levonorgestrel is commonly used for emergency contraceptive measures. It blocks the some necessary hormones for pregnancy if you use it for longer periods. It can produce side effects like weight gain, irregular menstruation, and many more. For headache you can use painkillers but for hormonal disturbances and gyne side effects, you have to meet gynecologist and refrain from using these pills later.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards
