Product Overview

Levonorgestrel IP 1.50 mg is an emergency contraceptive formulation intended to help prevent pregnancy following unprotected sexual intercourse or contraceptive failure, such as a missed contraceptive pill or condom breakage. It is most effective when taken as soon as possible after the event and does not terminate an existing pregnancy.

Levonorgestrel is a synthetic progestogen that primarily works by delaying or preventing ovulation. By reducing the likelihood of an egg being released from the ovary, it helps prevent fertilization when used within the recommended time frame.
