Abstract in brief

This study tested whether doubling the dose of levonorgestrel emergency contraception improves its effectiveness in people with obesity, as higher BMI may affect drug performance.
The results showed no significant difference in preventing follicle rupture between those who took the standard 15 mg dose and those who took the double 30 mg dose, indicating that increasing the dose may not enhance effectiveness for this group.
Overall, the study suggests that simply doubling the levonorgestrel dose is not a reliable way to improve emergency contraception success rates in individuals with obesity, highlighting the need for alternative strategies.
