    Pharmacodynamics:

    Levonorgestrel is a synthetic gestagen. which has a contraceptive effect. It is used as a means of emergency contraception due to pronounced gestagenic and anti-estrogenic effects. With the recommended dosing regimen levonorgestrel suppresses ovulation and fertilization, if sexual intercourse occurs in the pre-evolutionary phase of the menstrual cycle.It can also cause changes in the endometrium that prevent the implantation of a fertilized egg, and increases the viscosity of the secretion of the cervix, which prevents the progress of spermatozoa. Levonorgestrel Ineffective in the case when the implantation has already occurred.

    Subject to the recommended dosing regimen levonorgestrel does not significantly affect the factors of blood coagulability, the exchange of fats and carbohydrates.

    When one 1.5-mg levonorgestrel tablet is used once during 72 hours after unprotected intercourse, the expected pregnancy can be prevented in 84% of cases (compared to 79% with 2 levonorgestrel tablets taken with a 12-hour interval).

    Pharmacokinetics:

    Suction. Ingestion levonorgestrel quickly and almost completely absorbed. Absolute bioavailability is about 100% of the dose. After taking levonorgestrel at a dose of 1.5 mg, the maximum concentration in the blood plasma (CmOh), equal to 18.5 ng / ml, is achieved after 2 hours.

    Distribution. Levonorgestrel binds to serum albumin and with sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG).Only 1.5% of the dose received in the body is in free form, and 65% is associated with SHGG. Penetrates into breast milk.

    Metabolism. Metabolism of levonorgestrel corresponds to the metabolism of steroids. Metabolized in the liver by hydroxylation, metabolites are excreted in the form of conjugated glucuronides. Pharmacologically active metabolites of levonorgestrel are unknown.

    Excretion. Levonorgestrel is excreted approximately equally by the kidneys and through the intestine, exclusively in the form of metabolites. The half-life (T1/2) is about 26 hours.

    Indications:Emergency (postcoital) contraception within 72 hours (after unprotected sex or unreliability of the contraceptive method used).
    Contraindications:

    Symptoms: nausea, vomiting, bleeding "cancellation."

    Treatment: there is no specific antidote. Conduct symptomatic therapy.
    Interaction:

    With simultaneous use with inductors of microsomal enzymes of the liver, there is an acceleration of the metabolism of levonorgestrel.

    The following drugs may decrease the effectiveness of levonorgestrel: amprenavir, lansoprazole, nevirapine, oxcarbazepine, tacrolimus, topiramate, tretinoin, barbiturates (including primidon), phenytoin and carbamazepine; preparations containing St. John's wort
