There are dozens of brands of emergency contraceptive pills, also known as "the morning after" pills, that are available throughout the world. These pills are hormonal contraceptives that have been approved, packaged and specifically sold for emergency contraception.
If you have unprotected sex and you take an emergency contraceptive within seventy two hours, then you have a pretty good chance of preventing pregnancy.

This first one is not a “pill,” it is the IUD (coil) and can be inserted up to five days after you have had unprotected sex.
This is a pill that has levonorgestrel in it, which is known for being a progestogen hormone. You can get it from a prescription or you can go to pharmacies and purchase it without showing a prescription. The usual dose you will need to take is one pill, which will contain 1.5 mg of Levonorgestrel. Take note that there are some women that need a higher dose when they are taking certain medications. As an example, if you are taking certain anti-epilepsy medicines, then you will need a higher dose. This is something you will need to discuss with your pharmacy.
