Product Introduction: Levonorgestrel is a synthetic form of the hormone progesterone, commonly used in birth control methods. It is available in various forms such as oral tablets, intrauterine devices (IUDs), and emergency contraceptive pills.
Uses:
- Contraception: Levonorgestrel is primarily used to prevent pregnancy. It is commonly found in combination birth control pills and as a component of hormonal IUDs.
- Emergency Contraception: It can be used as an emergency contraceptive within 72 hours (3 days) after unprotected intercourse to prevent pregnancy.
- Treatment of Heavy Menstrual Bleeding: Levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine systems are also approved for the treatment of heavy menstrual bleeding.
Benefits:
- Highly effective in preventing pregnancy when used correctly.
- Emergency contraceptive pills containing levonorgestrel are widely available over-the-counter.
