Patient's question:
I took a levonorgestrel pill (contraceptive) last Saturday. Hello doctor, how long does it take for the menstrual period to come after taking this levonorgestrel pill?Doctor's answer:
The levonorgestrel tablets are emergency contraceptive pills. After taking levonorgestrel tablets, how long will menstruation come varies from person to person. Some may have their period earlier, while others may have it later. The main reason is that emergency contraceptives contain high levels of estrogen and progesterone, which can lead to side effects such as menstrual irregularities. Please note that levonorgestrel tablets should not be used as a regular contraceptive method. They are primarily intended for emergency breastfeeding in situations where no protection was used. First, carefully observe the condition of menstruation.
