Yes. If you needed Levonelle because you forgot some of your regular pills or did not use the patch or vaginal ring correctly, you should take a contraceptive pill again, insert a new ring or apply a new patch within 12 hours of taking Levonelle. You will need to use an additional contraceptive method, such as condoms, for: • seven days with the patch, the ring and the combined pill • two days with the progestogen-only pill.
