Emergency contraceptive pills (ECP)- How effective are they?

[Anna LD]

Emergency contraceptive pills (ECP) also known as the morning-after pill is approved for purchase over the counter at pharmacies (you don’t need a prescription). You can also purchase ECP from your local sexual health clinic or health care provider.
When taken within five days of unprotected sex, the morning after pill reduces the risk of pregnancy. The sooner you take it, the more effective it is. It’s important to not delay. If it’s been more than seven days since you’ve had unprotected sex and you do not get your menstrual period on time, take a pregnancy test. If you are pregnant, there are options available to you. ECP is not an abortion pill. Once a pregnancy has occurred, ECP will not work.

I want to know how helpful are they.. ladies I want your view?

After sexual activity, emergency contraception refers to methods of contraception that can be utilised to prevent pregnancy. Although it is advised to use them within 5 days following the act of intercourse, the sooner you use them, the better.
