Buy Levonorgestrol

Plan B Emergency Contraceptive (Levonorgestrol) is an emergency or backup contraceptive. Levonorgestrol can prevent pregnancy after a contraceptive accident (such as a broken condom) or when no form of birth control was used. Treatment is most effective if used in the first 72 hours (3 days) following unprotected sex. Levonorgestrol cannot terminate an existing pregnancy. Although there is no scientific evidence that Levonorgestrol would harm a developing embryo, women who are already pregnant should not use this product. Levonorgestrol should not be used in place of regular contraception. Levonorgestrol acts as an emergency contraceptive by preventing the release of an egg from the ovary or preventing sperm and egg from uniting. In addition, Levonorgestrol may prevent the fertilized egg from attaching to the wall of the uterus. Levonorgestrol is not effective once a pregnancy has started, that is once the fertilized egg has attached to the wall of the uterus. Levonorgestrol does not cause an abortion.
