The only way of knowing whether NORLEVO® has worked is when you get your next period, which should come at the expected time or within 5 days of the expected time. If your period is more than 5 days late, you may be pregnant. If you have any questions or concerns, please be sure to call your doctor or healthcare professional.

NORLEVO® is intended for emergency use only and should not replace regular contraception as it is not as effective as regular birth control methods and has more side effects than regular contraception. If you are having sexual intercourse on a regular basis, it is advisable that you speak to a healthcare professional about the most suitable contraceptive method for you.
It is advisable that you discuss routine contraception with your healthcare professional. Regarding the IUD, it can be inserted during the next menstrual cycle.

No. NORLEVO® will not offer protection against STDs and therefore precautions need to be taken to prevent them.

If you think that you might have an STD, it is advisable to speak to your healthcare professional to arrange the necessary tests.
No, there is no interference between NORLEVO® and pregnancy tests.
