Hi,
Morning after pill NorLevo contains levonorgestrel, a natural female sex hormone that is used in the prevention of unwanted pregnancies from unprotected sexual intercourse if it is taken within 72 hours of unprotected sexual encounters. It acts as
emergency contraceptive pill.
It may cause menstrual irregularities like prolonged or scanty bleeding during cycle, delayed or frequent periods, irregular uterine bleeding, spotting or breakthrough
bleeding between periods, vaginal bleeding,
vaginal discharge, back pain and cramps, abdominal pain, increasing the risk yeast infection due to vaginal dryness, breast tenderness and enlargement, fatigue, dizziness, weakness and tiredness, hot flashes, facial hair growth, allergic reactions and many more. These side effects are mild and usually go away over time without any medical treatment. But if these side effects persist for long or bother you then you should inform your doctor first for
medical help.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Zubayer Alam, General And Family Physician
