Levonorgestrel at emergency contraception dose has no effect on ciliary beat frequency and muscular contraction of the human fallopian tube: an in vitro experimental study
LNG did not significantly inhibit ciliary beat frequency and muscular contraction of the human Fallopian tube at the doses used for EC, suggesting that the Fallopian tube is unlikely a target for the EC action of LNG.
