Talk:Levonorgestrel

message: ...more needs to be added re other forms of levo bc/the pharmacology of the progestin, for general article about levornogestrel. recapping mechanism of action for ec is redundancy of ec article/doesn't explain pharmacology of levo in general...
this sentence: "...progestogenic effects, but also has androgenic and estrogenic effects" needs some vocabulary explanation for those of us that didn't go to medical school. Astragal 04:22, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

message: "the FDA in the United States to persons over the age of 18"
The FDA Press Release says that Plan B was approved to /women/ over the age of 18 -- "persons" is an incorrect anti-sexism.

"was approved for over-the-counter sales to persons over the age
  of 18 on August 24, 2006.[1]"
* approved where ? (i'm assuming US ?)
* also, the [1] footnote seems to be missing
was supposed to be a link to the times article. don't know why it isn't working. don't know how to fix.  the full history of the legalization in US, UK, and abroad is in the "Emergency Contraception" article. Will make link to that.  -Astragal 16:03, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

message: It's a really good article! Sounds professional haha. I think the introduction is a little bit confusing, when you're describing the various birth control methods that Levonorgestrel is part of; I think it's better to list some of the examples all at once, and then explain each one by one, to make it more clear that you're still focusing on Levonorgestrel rather than plan B or the IUD, etc, rather than list one, explain it, and then move on to other examples. The brief section of Countraindications seems unnecessary, unless more will be added on later. I think 'Overdose' could probably be combined with 'Side Effects' or placed somewhere with medical information, because it isn't important enough to be its own subtitled part. I think the 'Chemistry' part could include some commentary that's easier for non-chemists / chemistry students to understand, even just like ("levonorgestrel consists of oxygen, hydrogen, cyclohexane rings, etc.").
::Not sure what you mean by "when you're describing the various birth control methods that Levonorgestrel is part of; I think it's better to list some of the examples all at once". It is part of a number of birth control methods. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 04:29, 5 June 2019 (UTC)

thread_title:  levonorgestrel is in all morning after pills? plan b, is it abortion? 

message: I know nothing about chemistry but doesn't the levo- imply that it's an L- molecule not a D- molecule? The sidebar says D-Norgestrel.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.74.254.148 (talk) 02:03, 31 January 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  L- or D-? 

message: It seems like lots of people confuse Plan B with the abortion pills RU486 (Medical abortion).   Would it be useful to expand the current note at the top of the page "Not to be confused with.." to include Medical abortion?   I'll add that 2nd link to the existing template.  If anyone objects, we can remove it and discuss more.  Noleander (talk) 02:34, 27 June 2022 (UTC)
