Medical conditions

Your pharmacist can only supply you with Levonelle One Step® after asking you certain questions. These questions are designed to check that you are suitable for this type of emergency contraception. Click here to see the questions the pharmacist will ask you.

You should not take Levonelle One Step® in the following circumstances:

• You have had an allergic reaction to the progestogen 'levonorgestrel' contained in some oral contraceptives
• You have a disease of the bowel/gut which causes malabsorption such as Crohn's Disease
• You have severe liver disease
• You are taking medication that might interact with Levonelle One Step®

If you are taking any other medication, you are ill at the moment or you have a long-term medical condition, be sure to tell your pharmacist, doctor or family planning clinic before taking Levonelle One Step® and ask for advice on what to do next. If you can't take emergency contraception, ask about the IUD which can be fitted up to 5 days after unprotected sex.
