The Morning After or Emergency Contraceptive Pill (ECP)

This emergency contraceptive pill will be most effective if you take it as soon as possible after unprotected sex.
Within 24 hours is best, but it can prevent pregnancy if taken up to 5 days (120 hours) after sex. It will not prevent pregnancy if taken any later than this.

WARNING! Do not take the emergency contraceptive pill if you are pregnant or have had a positive pregnancy test.

A doctor's prescription is NOT required.
However a pharmacist consultation is required, and there is a small chargefor the service.
Your privacy is assured.
