Levonorgestrel is a hormonal medication which is used in a number of birth control methods.[5] It is combined with an estrogen to make combination birth control pills.[6] As an emergency birth control, sold under the brand name Plan B among others, it is useful within 72 hours.

Can this pill have a reverse effect on drowsiness. I took two pills in 12 hours and was up agitated all night. ## SMX-TMP is an antibiotic used to treat various types of infections.

How can I know that levonelle worked. I got my menstrual cycle after four days of taking actually a double dose? does it mean it worked.

Not to mention i have been extremely exhausted. please tell me what is going on! ## Levonelle is an emergency contraceptive, which contains the synthetic hormone Levornogestrel, so a heavier period and unusual color, plus some nausea and muscle aches are normal, especially if you were pregnant, because the emergency tablets prevent the actual egg from implanting in the uterus, which basically acts like an induced abortion or miscarriage. However, having pain when urinating is not normal and may sig...
