Emergency contraception is used to help prevent pregnancy after unprotected sex or if your regular method of contraception has failed. This includes situations like missed pills, split condoms, or no contraception being used at all.
The sooner emergency contraception is taken, the more effective it is. It works best within the first 12 hours after unprotected sex but can still be used up to 72 hours (3 days) afterward, depending on the medicine used.
At Slinic, we offer Levonelle, a reliable emergency contraceptive containing levonorgestrel. It works by delaying the release of an egg from the ovary, preventing fertilisation from occurring if sperm is present.
Levonelle is a single tablet taken as soon as possible after unprotected sex. It does not affect your ability to become pregnant in the future and will not work if you are already pregnant.
This treatment is suitable for most women, but it may be less effective if you are taking certain medications or have a higher body weight. A licensed UK prescriber will review your consultation to ensure Levonelle is appropriate for you.
Ordering from Slinic is fast, confidential, and convenient. Simply complete a short online consultation, and if approved, your treatment will be sent quickly in discreet packaging for peace of mind and privacy.
