Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Will one glass of wine stop Levonelle from working?
A: One small glass of wine is very unlikely to affect the efficacy of Levonelle. The main risk is not the alcohol itself, but if that drink contributes to nausea and vomiting within the first few hours of taking the pill. If you are confident in your tolerance, a single drink after the 3-4 hour absorption window poses minimal risk to the medication’s primary function.

Q: What should I do if I drank alcohol and then vomited after taking the pill?
A: This is a serious concern. If you vomit within two hours of taking Levonelle, it is treated as a missed dose. You should contact a pharmacist or doctor immediately, as you may need to take another dose or consider an alternative form of emergency contraception, such as the ellaOne (ulipristal acetate) pill or a copper IUD, which are effective for up to 5 days.

Q: Can I go out drinking the night after taking Levonelle?
A: While the medication itself will have been absorbed, you may still be experiencing side effects like fatigue or headache. Alcohol can worsen these feelings and contribute to dehydration. Listen to your body. If you feel unwell, it’s wise to avoid a heavy night of drinking. Always practice safe sex, as Levonelle offers no protection for any subsequent unprotected intercourse.

Q: Does alcohol affect other types of emergency contraception?
A: The same general principles apply to ellaOne (ulipristal acetate). The concern is not a direct chemical interaction but the increased risk of vomiting and the exacerbation of side effects. The copper IUD, being a non-hormonal device, is not affected by alcohol consumption at all once it has been fitted.
