Emergency Contraception
What is Emergency Contraception?
Emergency contraception (EC) is a safe and effective way to prevent pregnancy when taken within a specific time frame after unprotected sex. It is most effective when taken as soon as possible, ideally within 72 hours. EC works by delaying ovulation, preventing fertilization, or stopping a fertilized egg from implanting in the uterus.

- Emergency Contraceptive Pills (ECPs): Over-the-counter pills such as Plan B® and prescription-only pills like Ella®.
