Levoplant Contraceptive Implant

Levoplant Contraceptive Implant is a long-acting hormonal contraceptive designed to help prevent pregnancy. It consists of two flexible subdermal implant rods, with each rod containing 75 mg of levonorgestrel, providing a total of 150 mg of levonorgestrel in the complete implant set.

Levoplant is placed underneath the skin of the upper arm by a trained healthcare professional. Once inserted, the implant continuously releases a small amount of levonorgestrel, providing long-acting contraception without requiring daily administration.

The product shown contains 10 sets of 2 subdermal implants, with each rod containing 75 mg of levonorgestrel.

Important: Levoplant is a medical contraceptive implant and must be inserted and removed by a suitably trained healthcare professional. It should not be inserted, adjusted, or removed without professional medical care.

Levoplant Contraceptive Implant Composition

Each Levoplant set contains two flexible rods, and each rod contains 75 mg of levonorgestrel.

What Is Levoplant Used For?

Levoplant Contraceptive Implant is used for pregnancy prevention.

It is a long-acting reversible contraceptive method. Unlike contraceptive methods that require regular daily administration, Levoplant provides contraception after the two implant rods have been correctly inserted under the skin.

According to WHO product information, the implant is indicated for contraception and has demonstrated safety and efficacy for the labelled period of use.

The choice of contraceptive method depends on an individual’s health, medical history, reproductive plans, preferences, and other factors. A healthcare professional can help determine whether Levoplant is an appropriate option.

How Does Levoplant Work?

Levoplant contains levonorgestrel, a synthetic progestogen.

After insertion, the implant gradually releases levonorgestrel into the body. Hormonal implants primarily work by:

• Suppressing ovulation
• Thickening cervical mucus
• Making it more difficult for sperm to reach an egg

These effects work together to reduce the likelihood of pregnancy.

Because Levoplant works continuously after insertion, there is no need to remember a daily contraceptive tablet.

How Long Does Levoplant Last?

The duration of use should always be determined according to the locally approved product information and advice of a qualified healthcare professional.

Current WHO prequalification documentation for the levonorgestrel 75 mg two-rod implant describes three years of contraceptive use under the labelled conditions.

The implant can be removed earlier if the user wishes to discontinue the method or if a healthcare professional recommends removal.

Levoplant Insertion

Levoplant must be inserted under the skin of the upper arm by a healthcare provider who has been properly trained in implant insertion and removal.

The procedure requires appropriate clinical technique and sterile equipment.

The implant should not be inserted by an untrained person or by the customer themselves.

WHO product information specifically states that trained healthcare providers should perform both insertion and removal procedures.

Levoplant Removal

Levoplant can be removed when contraception is no longer required or when removal is recommended for medical reasons.

Removal should be performed by a trained healthcare professional using appropriate clinical technique.

Do not attempt to locate, move, cut, or remove the implant yourself.

After removal, future contraceptive planning should be discussed with a healthcare professional if pregnancy prevention is still desired.

Benefits of Levoplant

Levoplant offers several practical advantages as a long-acting contraceptive method.

Long-Acting Contraception

Once correctly inserted, Levoplant provides continuous contraceptive protection for its labelled duration.

No Daily Pill Routine

Because the implant remains under the skin, there is no requirement to remember a daily contraceptive tablet.

Reversible Method

Levoplant can be removed when contraception is no longer required.

Progestogen-Based Contraception

Levoplant contains levonorgestrel, a progestogen, and does not contain estrogen.

Convenient Option

For people who prefer a long-acting contraceptive method, an implant can reduce the need for frequent contraceptive administration.

Levoplant Side Effects

Like other hormonal contraceptive methods, Levoplant may cause side effects in some users.

Changes in menstrual bleeding are among the commonly encountered effects with contraceptive implants.

Possible effects may include:

• Irregular menstrual bleeding
• Changes in menstrual frequency
• Headache
• Breast tenderness
• Abdominal discomfort
• Acne or skin changes
• Mood changes
• Changes in menstrual flow

The experience can vary from person to person.

If you experience persistent, severe, or concerning symptoms after insertion, contact your healthcare professional for appropriate evaluation.

Before choosing Levoplant Contraceptive Implant, discuss your medical history with your doctor or qualified healthcare provider.

Tell your healthcare professional about:

• Existing medical conditions
• Previous problems with hormonal contraception
• Current medicines
• Allergies
• Unexplained vaginal bleeding
• Liver-related conditions
• Any concerns regarding pregnancy

Your healthcare professional can assess whether Levoplant is suitable for you.

Levoplant and Pregnancy

Levoplant is intended for pregnancy prevention.

If pregnancy is suspected while the implant is in place, contact a healthcare professional for assessment.

Do not attempt to remove the implant yourself.

A healthcare professional can determine the appropriate next steps based on your individual circumstances.

Levoplant and Breastfeeding

Contraceptive implants containing levonorgestrel may be considered in breastfeeding individuals, but the appropriate timing and suitability depend on individual circumstances.

Discuss postpartum contraception with your healthcare professional to determine when Levoplant can appropriately be inserted.
