Indications & Clinical Uses

Levosert, a levonorgestrel‑releasing intrauterine system, is used within the hormonal contraceptive pathway for preventing unintended pregnancy.

  • Long‑acting reversible contraception (up to 3 years): Provides continuous birth control for up to three years.
  • Prevention of pregnancy: Offers a reliable, progestogen‑only method for women seeking contraception.
  • Family planning: Enables women to plan pregnancies with a reversible, low‑maintenance option.

How It Works

  • Levonorgestrel is released locally from the intrauterine system at approximately 20 µg per day. The hormone thickens cervical mucus, reduces sperm motility and viability, suppresses endometrial proliferation, and may inhibit ovulation, collectively preventing fertilisation and implantation.

Side Effects

Levosert may cause a range of adverse reactions, most of which are mild and transient.

Common Side Effects

  • Irregular bleeding or spotting during the first months.
  • Reduced menstrual blood loss or amenorrhea after continued use.
  • Pelvic or abdominal discomfort.
  • Headache.

Serious or Rare Side Effects

  • Perforation of the uterine wall during insertion.
  • Expulsion of the device.
  • Pelvic inflammatory disease.
  • Allergic reaction to the device material.

Precautions & Warnings

Before insertion, a thorough medical assessment is required to ensure suitability.

  • Contraindications: Active pelvic infection, unexplained vaginal bleeding, or uterine anomalies.
  • Pregnancy testing: Confirm non‑pregnant status prior to placement.
  • Follow‑up: Schedule a check‑up 4‑6 weeks after insertion to verify position.
  • Storage: Store at room temperature below 25°C: keep in original packaging, protect from moisture and direct sunlight.

Avoid Interactions

Levosert’s contraceptive efficacy can be affected by certain medications and conditions.

Major Interactions (Avoid)

  • Enzyme‑inducing antiepileptics (e.g., carbamazepine, phenytoin) that may reduce levonorgestrel levels.
  • Certain antiretroviral drugs (e.g., efavirenz) that can decrease contraceptive effectiveness.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely)

  • Antibiotics such as rifampicin that may modestly lower hormone concentrations.
  • Herbal supplements containing St. John's wort.
  • Concomitant use of other hormonal contraceptives may increase side‑effect risk.

Frequently Asked Questions

Levosert is a levonorgestrel‑releasing intrauterine system indicated for long‑acting reversible contraception. It provides up to three years of reliable birth control for women who prefer a low‑maintenance, progestogen‑only method.

Levonorgestrel is released locally from the device at a steady rate, thickening cervical mucus, impairing sperm motility, suppressing the endometrium, and potentially inhibiting ovulation. These actions together prevent fertilisation and implantation.

Levosert is supplied as a single 52 mg intrauterine system that releases about 20 µg of levonorgestrel per day. The prescribing clinician determines placement and duration based on the patient’s needs.

Levosert must not be used by women who are pregnant. If pregnancy occurs, the device should be removed. Limited data exist for breastfeeding; clinicians usually advise caution and assess risks versus benefits.

To order, submit an enquiry on the Levosert 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 import documentation.

Levosert delivers levonorgestrel, a progestogen‑only hormone, whereas copper IUDs rely on a non‑hormonal copper coil. Levosert often reduces menstrual bleeding and may cause lighter periods, while copper devices can increase bleeding. Both provide long‑term contraception but differ in side‑effect profiles.

Levosert should be stored at room temperature below 25 °C, in its original sealed packaging, protected from moisture and direct sunlight. The device remains stable until the expiry date printed on the label.

Levosert is inserted by a trained healthcare professional into the uterine cavity using a specialized inserter. The procedure is performed in a clinical setting under aseptic conditions, and the device remains in place for up to three years.

Serious risks include uterine perforation during insertion, expulsion of the device, and pelvic inflammatory disease. Women should seek immediate medical attention if they experience severe abdominal pain, abnormal bleeding, or signs of infection.

Levosert is contraindicated in women with active pelvic infection, unexplained vaginal bleeding, uterine anomalies, known or suspected pregnancy, or those who are allergic to levonorgestrel or the device’s polymer components.
