Patient's question:
I'd like to ask what is the success rate of breastfeeding after taking levonorgestrel tablets? I had sexual intercourse with my boyfriend last night, and now I'm taking it. Is it effective?Doctor's answer:
For levonorgestrel tablets, it is an emergency contraceptive medication. The effectiveness of emergency contraception is relatively good, with a success rate generally reaching 98%. However, it is not a 100% success rate. It is generally recommended to take it within 72 hours of intercourse. You had intercourse last night, and taking it now is effective. Generally, it is effective as long as it does not exceed 72 hours. You need to adopt correct contraceptive measures and pay close attention to your menstrual cycle.
