How often can I take Levonelle One Step®?

There is no medical reason to limit the number of times you use Levonelle One Step®, but you should not take it more than once within one menstrual cycle. Although there is no evidence of long-term ill effects on your health from taking Levonelle One Step® more than once, it is not recommended as a regular method of birth control.

Levonelle One Step® is designed for emergency use and is not as effective as long-term contraception. Levonelle One Step® does not prevent pregnancy in every woman. Moreover, Levonelle One Step® may disrupt the regularity of your period that month. Your period may come earlier than usual or come later. As your period is your main way of knowing whether you are pregnant or not, you would increase your level of uncertainty if you used Levonelle One Step® regularly.

If you are sexually active (even very infrequently) then the best way to take care of your emotional wellbeing and your reproductive system, is to see your doctor or family planning clinic to find a method of birth control that suits you.
