Ezinelle 1.5mg Tablet (Generic Levonelle)
Ezinelle is an emergency contraceptive that can be used within 72 hours (3 days) of unprotected sex or if your usual contraceptive method has failed. It is not recommended for use in children. If you are under 16, you must visit your doctor or family planning clinic to get the emergency contraception.
Ezinelle contains a synthetic hormone-like substance called Levonorgestrel. It works by stopping your ovaries from releasing an egg and preventing sperm from fertilising any egg you may have already released.
Ezinelle is proven to be effective at preventing pregnancy for up to 3 days after unprotected sex. It prevents about 95% of unwanted pregnancies when you take it within 24 hours of having unprotected sex. It will not prevent a pregnancy every time and is more effective if you take it as soon as possible after unprotected sex.
Always take this medicine exactly as described in the patient leaflet. It is important you contact our Click Pharmacy team or your GP if you are unsure.
