Description

LoviOne is an emergency contraceptive pill designed to prevent pregnancy after unprotected sex or contraceptive failure. Available from MedCare Health Clinic, LoviOne is intended for use within 72 hours (3 days) after unprotected intercourse, with the best results achieved when taken as soon as possible.

LoviOne contains levonorgestrel, a synthetic hormone that helps to delay or prevent ovulation, making it less likely for fertilization to occur. This single-dose solution is easy to take and provides peace of mind when your regular contraception fails or is missed.
