Full Prescribing Info
Use In Pregnancy & Lactation
Pregnancy: Category X. Many studies have found no effects on fetal development associated with long-term use of contraceptive doses of oral progestins. The few studies of infant growth and development that have been conducted with progestin-only oral contraceptives have not demonstrated significant adverse effects. Levonorgestrel is not effective in terminating an existing pregnancy.
Ectopic pregnancy: Consider a history of ectopic pregnancy a contraindication of using the emergency contraceptive method. However, be alert to the possibility of an ectopic pregnancy in women who become pregnant or complain of lower abdominal pain after taking levonorgestrel.
Pregnancy may occur despite the correct use of this drug.
Lactation: Small amounts of progestin pass into the breast milk of women taking progestin-only oral contraceptives for long-term contraception. However, no adverse effects caused by progestin-only oral contraceptives have been found on breast-feeding performance, either in the quality or quantity of the milk, or on the health, growth, or development of the infant.
