Levonelle is a type of morning after pill or emergency contraception that contains the active ingredient levonorgestrel.

Levonelle works by stopping ovulation or preventing an already fertilised egg from implanting in the womb. It is up to 97% effective if taken within 12 to 24 hours of unprotected sex. However, it can be taken up to 3 days (72 hours) after and will remain 84% effective.

Levonelle can be taken alongside your usual contraceptive pill if your regular method has failed or you have forgotten to take it.

You can request Levonelle from Superdrug Online Doctor without the need for a face-to-face consultation. Just fill out a short online health questionnaire and if approved you can choose to have your medication:

• delivered discreetly to your home address next-day, or
• collect from a local Superdrug Pharmacy in as little as 2 to 3 hours after doctor approval
