Levonorgestrel 1.5mg tablets contain a synthetic like substance called levonorgestrel. It prevents about 84% of expected pregnancies when it is taken within 72 hours of having unprotected sex. It will not prevent pregnancy every time and is more effective if you take it as soon as possible after unprotected sex. It is better to take it within 12 hours rather than delay until the third day.
