Preguntas Frecuentes

How should I take NorLevo as soon as possible?

It is most effective when taken as soon as possible, ideally within 12 hours, but it can still be effective up to 72 hours (3 days) after unprotected intercourse.

Can I use NorLevo if I am breastfeeding?

Yes, you can. Small amounts pass into breast milk, but this is considered safe. You can continue breastfeeding as normal.

Will NorLevo affect my next period?

Your next period may come a few days earlier or later than expected. If it is more than 5 days late, or unusually light or heavy, take a pregnancy test.

Can I use NorLevo more than once during the same cycle?

It is not dangerous, but it is not recommended, as it may disrupt your menstrual cycle. If you need emergency contraception more than once, speak with your pharmacist or doctor to discuss a suitable regular contraceptive method.

Does NorLevo protect me for the rest of my cycle?

No, NorLevo only protects against the single episode of unprotected intercourse for which it was taken. It does not protect against further intercourse later in the same cycle, so it is recommended to use condoms or another reliable contraceptive method until your next period.
