Emergency Contraception
Emergency contraception, sometimes called the morning after pill, can be used if your contraceptive method fails (for example a condom splits or a pill is forgotten or taken late) or no contraception is used.
Emergency contraception can be taken up to 5 days after unprotected sex however it is more effective the sooner after sex it is taken so it is important that you seek emergency contraceptive advice as quickly as possible.
