Taking levonorgestrel tablets during breastfeeding

Taking levonorgestrel tablets during breastfeeding

Levonorgestrel tablets are a strong, short-term contraceptive. The contraceptive mechanism is to significantly inhibit ovulation and prevent the implantation of fertilized eggs, and to increase the consistency of cervical mucus, allowing sperm to expand through friction resistance, thereby fully exerting a strong contraceptive effect. It should be noted that this medicine needs to be taken on an empty stomach. It is forbidden to eat within two hours before and after taking the medicine. The second tablet should be taken 12 hours after the first tablet. But for some ordinary women, can women who are breastfeeding take levonorgestrel tablets?

Levonorgestrel tablets are used as female contraceptives, that is, they are used when there is no protection or other contraceptive measures are accidentally used. I recommend that you stop breastfeeding for at least 3 days after taking this product while breastfeeding, and express your milk regularly during this period. In addition, patients with breast cancer, male reproductive organ cancer, abnormal liver function or recent history of liver disease or jaundice, venous thrombosis, brain injury accident, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, mental anxiety disorder and women over 40 years old are strictly prohibited from taking this type of medicine.

Side effects of taking levonorgestrel tablets

1. It can be seen that the changes in menstrual period are mostly manifested as early or delayed menstruation in the current month of taking medicine.

2. It can be seen that mild nausea, vomiting, dull breast pain, headache, dizziness, fatigue and other symptoms generally do not need to be treated and can disappear on their own after 24 hours. If the symptoms are severe or persist, you should consult a doctor.

3. There will be abnormal uterine bleeding. If the bleeding does not stop on its own, you should go to the hospital immediately to seek medical attention and be alert to the existence of ectopic pregnancy.
