Levonorgestrel Apofri (Levonorgestrel)

Levonorgestrel works by binding to progesterone receptors, suppressing the luteinizing hormone surge that triggers ovulation. It also thickens cervical mucus, limiting sperm movement, and alters the uterine lining to make implantation unlikely.

The specific dose and regimen are determined by the prescribing healthcare professional. Levonorgestrel tablets are typically taken as a single dose for emergency use or as a daily tablet for regular contraception, according to the prescriber’s instructions.

Levonorgestrel is not intended for use during an established pregnancy and should be avoided by women who are already pregnant. Limited data exist for breastfeeding; healthcare providers usually weigh benefits against potential risks before prescribing.

To place an order, submit an enquiry on the product page at gnhindia.com, specifying the required quantity. GNH India works with hospitals, pharmacies and procurement teams worldwide, verifies trade or institutional credentials, and then provides pricing, availability, shipping details and any necessary import documentation.

Levonorgestrel is a progestin‑only option, offering a single‑ingredient alternative to combined oral contraceptives that contain estrogen. It is effective for emergency use and for daily contraception without the estrogen‑related side‑effects, but it does not provide menstrual cycle regulation that some combined pills do.

Store the tablets at ambient temperature, below 25 °C, in the original packaging. Keep them away from moisture, direct sunlight and excessive heat to maintain product stability.

Levonorgestrel Apofri is taken orally. The tablet should be swallowed whole with water, following the timing instructions provided by the prescriber—either as a single dose for emergency contraception or once daily for regular use.

Serious risks include severe allergic reactions (rash, swelling, breathing difficulty), chest pain or shortness of breath that may signal a blood clot, and rare liver dysfunction. Any of these symptoms require immediate medical attention.

Women with a known history of thromboembolic disorders, severe liver disease, hormone‑sensitive cancers, or who are currently pregnant should avoid Levonorgestrel. Additionally, individuals with hypersensitivity to levonorgestrel or any tablet excipients should not take the product.
