Overview

Disclaimer - SwiftMedi provides this service as a precaution as a standby treatment should unprotected sex occur. If you have had unprotected sex, it is important to visit your local GP or Community Pharmacy as soon as possible for medication supply.

 

If you’ve had unprotected sex or your contraception hasn’t worked, it’s normal to feel anxious - but you still have safe, effective options. Levonelle is a trusted morning after pill that helps prevent pregnancy when taken within 3 days (72 hours). By safely delaying ovulation, it lowers the risk of pregnancy and gives you back peace of mind.
Every request through SwiftMedi is reviewed by a UK-registered prescriber following a secure online consultation, with discreet, next-day delivery.


What is Levonelle 


Levonelle (levonorgestrel 1.5mg) is one of the most commonly used forms of emergency hormonal contraception in the UK.

  • Works up to 72 hours (3 days) after unprotected sex
  • Most effective when taken as soon as possible
  • Widely trusted and recommended by healthcare professionals
  • Single-dose oral tablet


Levonelle works by delaying ovulation, meaning no egg is released for fertilisation. It does not end an existing pregnancy and will not affect fertility in the future.

Directions

  • Take one tablet as soon as possible after unprotected sex.
  • Works for up to 72 hours (3 days) but is most effective within the first 24 hours.
  • If you vomit within 3 hours, you may need another dose — contact a prescriber.
  • Not intended for regular contraception; switch back to your chosen method afterwards.

Side Effects

Like all medicines, Levonelle can cause side effects, although not everyone gets them.

Common (may affect up to 1 in 10 people):

  • Feeling sick (nausea)
  • Headache
  • Dizziness
  • Tiredness (fatigue)
  • Abdominal (lower stomach) pain
  • Breast tenderness


Less Common (may affect up to 1 in 100 people):

  • Vomiting (if you are sick within 3 hours of taking the tablet, you may need to take another dose – contact us for advice)
  • Diarrhoea
  • Skin rashes

Rare but serious (seek medical advice immediately):

  • Signs of a severe allergic reaction (anaphylaxis): swelling of the face, lips, tongue or throat, severe dizziness, or difficulty breathing.
  • Severe lower stomach pain, which could indicate an ectopic pregnancy (a pregnancy outside the womb).

Disclaimer: This is not a complete list of side effects. Always read the patient information leaflet that comes with your medicine. If you notice anything unusual or concerning, stop using the medicine and seek medical advice promptly. In an emergency, call 999 or go to A&E.

Warnings

Levonelle may not be suitable if you:

  • Are already pregnant (it will not work)
  • Have severe liver problems
  • Are taking certain medicines that affect liver enzymes (e.g., epilepsy drugs, St John’s Wort, some HIV or TB medicines)
  • Have a very high BMI (effectiveness may be reduced)


Your prescriber will assess your history to confirm suitability.
