General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Dear user,

I really understand your concern.

Unwanted 72 pill contains levonorgestrel as active ingredient, that cause heavy or light menstrual bleeding about 7-10 days. There's nothing to worry, this is a good sign that shows you're not going to be pregnant.

Other common side effects are:
- abdominal or stomach pain
- dizziness
- headache
- nausea
- tenderness of the breasts
- unusual tiredness or weakness
- vomiting

Some of the side effects that can occur with levonorgestrel may not need medical attention. As your body adjusts to the medicine during treatment these side effects may go away.


All the best!
