It is believed that levonorgestrel works mainly by preventing ovulation and fertilization, as long as sexual intercourse took place during the preovulatory period, when the probability of fertilization is greatest. The authors of textbooks on gynecology and pharmacology report that other mechanisms may also work. They mark the effect of this product on the peristalsis of the fallopian tubes, and thus on the transport of the embryo into the uterus, it can also cause changes in the endometrium that hinder implantation. It is not effective if the implantation process has already begun. After oral administration, levonorgestrel is absorbed very quickly and almost completely. After taking 1 tabl. The maximum concentration in the blood serum occurs after 2 hours. The effectiveness according to the manufacturer is 84% if it is taken within 72 hours after unprotected intercourse. Its effectiveness is greatest if the tablet is taken as soon as possible (preferably within 12 hours).
