What is Levonelle?
This treatment is a 72 hour contraception method which reduces the chances of becoming pregnant after unprotected sex. It contains Levonorgeltrel which is the active ingredient in preventing pregnancy.

Levonelle works by altering the lining of the womb and preventing fertilisation which could lead to pregnancies.
