Title:   Contraception - emergency contraception
Publisher:   Better Health Channel
Description:   Emergency contraception (the 'morning after pill') can be used to prevent an unplanned pregnancy after unprotected sex. It's most effective if taken within 24 hours of having sex, but works well up to 72 hours. It might be effective if taken within 120 hours (five days). You might need emergency contraception if the pill is missed, a condom breaks, no contraception was used or in the case of rape.
