About Levonorgestrel (emergency contraception)
Levonorgestrel is the active ingredient in emergency contraceptive pills — the 'morning-after pill' — used to prevent pregnancy after unprotected sex or when a regular method has failed, such as a burst condom or missed pills. In Nigeria it is sold over the counter and is extremely widely used, best known by the brand names Postinor-2 (Gedeon Richter) and the locally made Postpill and Lydia Postpill (DKT). It is a single-use, backup method — not a routine form of family planning.
