What should I pay attention to after taking levonorgestrel tablets?

Levonorgestrel tablets are a type of emergency contraceptive for women, as the drug may have adverse reactions such as nausea, vomiting, etc. In order to ensure the effectiveness of contraception, if vomiting occurs within 2 hours after taking the drug, 1 additional tablet should be taken immediately. If the user is breastfeeding, it is recommended to suspend breastfeeding after taking the drug and express milk regularly.
Levonorgestrel tablets are used for emergency contraception in women, i.e., when unprotected or other contraceptive methods fail by chance, and need to be taken orally within 72 hours after unprotected sex or contraceptive failure; the earlier the pill is taken, the more effective the contraceptive effect will be. This drug is contraindicated in persons with known or suspected pregnancy, in patients with diseases such as breast cancer, cancer of the reproductive organs, and in women over 40 years of age.
Adverse reactions such as mild nausea, vomiting, headache and breast tenderness may occur after taking levonorgestrel tablets, which usually do not need treatment and can disappear by themselves after 24 hours, but if vomiting occurs within 2 hours after taking the medicine, 1 additional tablet should be taken immediately. If breastfeeding women take this drug, it is recommended to suspend lactation for at least 3 days, during which time the breast milk should be expressed regularly.
This medication should not be used as a regular contraceptive method and is not recommended for frequent use. It is recommended to follow your doctor’s instructions for specific use.
