Levonorgestrel is primarily used as a contraceptive to prevent pregnancy. It is a highly effective and reversible method of contraception with a low pregnancy rate. The long duration of action is advantageous for women seeking extended contraceptive protection without compromising future fertility.
Please note that individual responses to the medicine may vary, and it is recommended to consult a Laser Gynae before using Levonorgestrel.
Interaction with alcohol is unknown. It is advisable to consult your doctor before consumption.
Norix 1 is not recommended for use if you are pregnant or planning a pregnancy in the near future. This medicine should be taken only after chances of being pregnant are ruled out.
Norix 1 should be used while breastfeeding only upon your doctor's recommendation.
Do not drive or handle any tools while taking Norix 1, since it may cause dizziness or tiredness.
Limited information is available regarding its use in patients with kidney disease. Kindly consult your doctor before taking it.

The medication is primarily used for the following conditions:
Levonorgestrel is a hormone that has been used in many birth control pills which works mainly by stopping the release of an egg from the ovary and prevents fertilization of an egg (the uniting of sperm with the egg) or by preventing attachment (implantation) to the uterus (womb).
Potential side effects may include breast tenderness, menstrual flow changes, fatigue, diarrhea, lightheadedness, and abdominal pain. Seek medical attention for severe side effects, such as skin allergies, breathing difficulties, chest pain, facial swelling, missed periods, or unusual bleeding.
A last-ditch method of preventing conception in the event of unprotected sexual activity is emergency contraception. After an unprotected sexual encounter, this contraceptive must be used as soon as possible, ideally within 12 hours and no later than 72 hours (3 days);
By suppressing gonadotropins, oral contraceptives containing levonorgestrel reduce ovulation. Levonorgestrel slows the release of gonadotropin-releasing hormones by binding to progesterone and androgen receptors in the hypothalamus (GnRH). This process suppresses the luteinizing hormone (LH) spike that naturally occurs physiologically prior to ovulation. It stops the release of viable eggs from the ovaries and follicular rupture. Levonorgestrel has been demonstrated to be more effective when administered prior to ovulation.
Norix tablets are emergency contraception pills that should be taken orally as soon as possible, but within 72 hours after unprotected intercourse.
Norix 0.75 mg Tablets: A single dose of 0.75 mg should be taken within 72 hours after unprotected intercourse. It's essential to take the full dosage in one regimen.
Norix 1.5mg Tablets: A single dose of 1.5 mg should be taken as soon as possible, preferably within 12 hours, and no later than 72 hours after unprotected sex. These tablets can be taken at any time in the menstrual cycle, provided the person is not already pregnant. It's important not to chew the tablet but swallow it whole with water.
After using Norix, it's recommended to use additional local contraceptive methods (e.g., condoms, spermicide, cervical cap) until the next menstrual period resumes. The use of Norix does not contraindicate the continuation of regular hormonal contraception, such as the contraceptive pill. If using oral contraception, continue taking the usual tablets until the end of the treatment.
If no menstrual period occurs in the next pill-free period following the use of Norix, a pregnancy test should be performed to rule out pregnancy. It's crucial to follow these guidelines for effective emergency contraception and to prevent unintended pregnancy.
When taking Levonorgestrel, it's essential to be aware of potential drug interactions and their interactions with certain diseases:
Interaction with Alcohol:
Interaction with Lab Tests (Thyroid function tests):
Interaction with Medicines:
Interactions with Diseases:
It's crucial to discuss any existing medical conditions, ongoing medications, or allergies with your doctor before starting Levonorgestrel to ensure safe and effective use.
If you're allergic to levonorgestrel or any of its excipients, don't take it.
Norix 1 cannot terminate an existing pregnancy. Research shows that progestogen if used as emergency contraception and unsuccessful, does not have harmful effects on fetal development. A recommended option is lactation. Breastfeed just before taking each Levonorgestrel pill and stop nursing after each dose, as levonorgestrel is present in breast milk.
Levonorgestrel, used for emergency contraception, requires cautious use and should be reserved for extraordinary circumstances due to several medical conditions, including sex-steroid-dependent cancer, past ectopic pregnancy, malabsorption syndromes, functional ovarian cysts, active liver disease, recurrent cholestatic jaundice, history of jaundice in pregnancy, cardiovascular or renal impairment, diabetes mellitus, asthma, epilepsy, migraine, conditions aggravated by fluid retention, depression, thromboembolism (at high doses), and lactation.
It's crucial to understand that emergency contraception with Levonorgestrel is not intended as a regular method of contraception or to replace normal birth control. While the menstrual period typically starts on the expected date after taking Levonorgestrel, it may start a few days earlier or later. If there is atypical bleeding on the expected menstruation date or a delay of more than 5 days, a pregnancy test should be taken to check for pregnancy.
It's important to remember that emergency contraception does not protect against sexually transmitted diseases, so necessary precautions should be taken for prevention.
Levonorgestrel is not recommended for individuals who have had an ectopic pregnancy, salpingitis, or severe digestive diseases affecting medication absorption. In case of vomiting within three hours after taking the medicine, another Levonorgestrel tablet should be taken immediately. These precautions are essential to ensure the effectiveness and safety of emergency contraception with Levonorgestrel.
