Doctor's answer:
1. When taking levonorgestrel tablets, an annual physical examination should be conducted, and the physician should be informed that the medication is being taken.2. Discontinue the medication if the following symptoms occur: suspected pregnancy, thromboembolic disease, visual impairment, hypertension, abnormal liver function, depression, ischemic heart disease, etc.
