What should I discuss with my doctor before taking Levonorgestrel?
• Before taking Levonorgestrel, tell your doctor if you • have high blood pressure, angina, or heart disease; • have had a stroke; • have a bleeding or blood-clotting disorder; • have breast, uterine, or another hormone-related cancer; • have liver disease; • have undiagnosed, abnormal vaginal bleeding; • have migraines or severe, recurrent headaches; • have diabetes; or • smoke. • You may not be able to take Levonorgestrel, or you may require special monitoring during treatment if you have any of the conditions listed above. • Levonorgestrel should not be used at any time during pregnancy except in an attempt to prevent pregnancy within 72 hours following unprotected sexual intercourse. • Levonorgestrel passes into breast milk. Do not take Levonorgestrel without first talking to your doctor if you are breast-feeding a baby.
