Levonorgestrel

Article Abstract:

Levonorgestrel, a synthetic derivative of progesterone, is most effective if taken less than 24 hours after unprotected sexual intercourse. The tablets are more effective in preventing pregnancy, but some side effects, like headache, abdominal pain, diarrhea, early or delayed onset of next menstrual period, are also observed suggesting that some precaution is necessary before taking this drug.
