Norlevo

Norlevo (0.75 mg levonorgestrel) is a new emergency contraceptive tablet available from Laboratoire HRA
Pharma. This product is the same as Plan B and patients are to take one tablet as soon as possible (i.e. within
72 hours following intercourse), followed by another tablet 12 hours later. Common side effects include nausea
and vomiting. If vomiting occurs within 1-2 hours after the first tablet is taken, the first tablet must be repeated.
Norlevo is considered a non-prescription requiring product that will be kept behind the pharmacist’s counter.
This product will only impact those plans that cover Plan B and similar non-prescription products. Price and
availability of Norlevo are currently unknown.
