What is levonorgestrel?Updated 10 months ago

Levonorgestrel is a type of progestin that prevents the release of an egg (ovulation) so the sperm will not find an egg to fertilize.  It is the ingredient in Morning After Pill.  Levonorgestrel has been trusted for 40 years as a safe way to prevent pregnancy. Not to be confused with the abortion pill (mifepristone) - this is not an abortion pill. If you are already pregnant, it will not harm an existing pregnancy.  If you have or have ever had breast cancer, you should not use Morning After Pill.

See the Morning After Pill product label for all information about the product.
