Why can I take Levonelle® One Step more often?
Levonelle® One Step isn’t suitable as a regular method of contraception because it’s not effective as long-term contraception and it doesn’t prevent pregnancy in every woman. Levonelle® One Step is designed as an emergency contraception. Depending on what stage you are at in your monthly cycle when you take it, Levonelle® One Step may disrupt the regularity of your period that month. It can come earlier than usual or it can come later. As your period is your main way of knowing whether you are pregnant or not, you would increase your level of uncertainty. If you used it instead of the Pill, you would be swapping a regular low dose of hormone for an irregular high dose, which would disrupt your menstrual cycle.
