Indications & Clinical Uses

Levonorgestrel Aurovitas is a progestogen that acts within the reproductive hormone pathway to provide emergency contraception.

  • Unprotected intercourse: prevents pregnancy when taken within 72 hours of exposure.
  • Contraceptive failure: offers backup protection after a missed oral contraceptive pill.
  • Post‑coital emergency: reduces the risk of fertilization when administered promptly after sexual activity.

How It Works

  • Levonorgestrel binds to progesterone receptors in the hypothalamic‑pituitary‑ovarian axis, inhibiting or delaying the luteinizing hormone surge and thereby preventing ovulation. It also induces changes in cervical mucus that reduce sperm penetration and may alter endometrial receptivity, collectively decreasing the likelihood of fertilization and implantation.

Side Effects

Levonorgestrel Aurovitas may cause a range of adverse reactions.

Common Side Effects

  • Nausea
  • Abdominal pain or cramps
  • Headache
  • Fatigue or dizziness
  • Menstrual irregularities (spotting, early or delayed bleeding)
  • Breast tenderness

Serious or Rare Side Effects

  • Allergic reaction (rash, swelling, anaphylaxis)
  • Severe abdominal or pelvic pain
  • Chest pain or shortness of breath
  • Severe headache or visual disturbances
  • Thromboembolic events (deep‑vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism)
  • Liver function abnormalities

Precautions & Warnings

Before using Levonorgestrel Aurovitas, certain precautions should be considered.

  • Timing of intake: take as soon as possible after unprotected intercourse for maximum efficacy.
  • Pregnancy status: confirm that you are not already pregnant before administration.
  • Medical conditions: consult a healthcare professional if you have a history of thromboembolic disorders, severe liver disease, or hormone‑sensitive cancers.
  • Drug interactions: review concomitant medications that may reduce effectiveness, such as enzyme‑inducing agents.
  • Storage: Store below 25°C: keep in the original pack, protect from moisture.

Avoid Interactions

Levonorgestrel Aurovitas can interact with several medicines that alter its effectiveness.

Major Interactions (Avoid)

  • Rifampicin: may significantly reduce contraceptive efficacy.
  • Anticonvulsants (e.g., carbamazepine, phenytoin): can lower plasma levels of levonorgestrel.
  • St. John's wort: may decrease effectiveness through enzyme induction.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely)

  • Hormonal contraceptives: combined use may require additional backup contraception.
  • Antifungal azoles (e.g., ketoconazole): may increase levonorgestrel concentrations.
  • Antiretrovirals (e.g., efavirenz): may reduce the drug’s efficacy.

Frequently Asked Questions

Levonorgestrel Aurovitas is used as an emergency contraceptive to help prevent pregnancy after unprotected sexual intercourse or contraceptive failure. It is intended for short‑term, post‑coital use and is not a regular birth‑control method.

Levonorgestrel works by binding to progesterone receptors, which inhibits or delays the surge of luteinizing hormone that triggers ovulation. It also thickens cervical mucus and alters the endometrium, making it less favorable for sperm penetration and implantation.

The specific dose and regimen are determined by the prescribing healthcare professional based on the patient’s situation and local guidelines. Patients should follow the prescriber’s instructions and not alter the dose on their own.

Levonorgestrel Aurovitas is intended for use before pregnancy is established and is not recommended for women who are already pregnant. Limited data are available for breastfeeding; healthcare providers should weigh potential benefits against any possible risks.

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 progestogen‑only emergency contraceptive that is effective up to 72 hours after intercourse. An alternative, ulipristal acetate, can be effective up to 120 hours and may retain efficacy longer, but both require prompt use and have distinct safety profiles.

Store the tablets at temperatures below 25 °C, in the original packaging, and protect them from moisture and direct sunlight. Keep out of reach of children and do not use if the packaging is damaged.

Levonorgestrel Aurovitas is taken orally as a tablet. The tablet should be swallowed whole with water as soon as possible after unprotected intercourse, ideally within the first 72 hours.

Serious but rare risks include severe allergic reactions (anaphylaxis), thromboembolic events such as deep‑vein thrombosis, and significant liver dysfunction. Any signs of severe reaction should prompt immediate medical attention.

Individuals with a known hypersensitivity to levonorgestrel or any tablet excipients, those who are already pregnant, or patients with a history of severe thromboembolic disorders should avoid using this product. Consultation with a healthcare professional is essential for other contraindications.
