I need emergency contraception now
Will it work?
Levonelle® One Step is more effective the earlier you take it. There is 1 tablet in the pack, which it’s important to take as quickly as possible.
After taking Levonelle® One Step, most women will have a normal period at the time they expect but sometimes, your period might come earlier or later than usual. It can also be lighter or heavier than usual. Or, you could have some 'spotting' until your next period. If your period is more than 5 days late, unusually light or unusually heavy you should contact your healthcare professional. You can read about the side effects that some women experience in What about side effects?
Levonelle® One Step is not 100% effective and will not prevent pregnancy in every woman.
If Levonelle® One Step fails and you do become pregnant, do not take Levonelle® One Step again. Levonelle® One Step does not work if you are already pregnant. If you need further advice, go to your healthcare professional or family planning clinic as soon as possible.
