Indications of Levonorgestrel
Levonorgestrel is essentially used for the prevention of pregnancy right after unprotected sexual intercourse or after a suspected birth control failure. This drug is a progestin pill and the method of how it works is not completely known. However, Levonorgestrel could effectively prevent pregnancy through the inhibition of ovulation, alteration of the transport of sperm or eggs so that fertilization could be prevented, or through the alteration of the uterus lining so that implantation could be prevented should fertilization occur.

Levonorgestrel could be used at any time in the menstrual cycle.
If you experience any vomiting within the next hour of taking either dose of Levonorgestrel, consult with your doctor if you would be needing to retake that dose.
