What is Emergency Contraception?

Emergency contraception is a safe and effective way to prevent pregnancy after unprotected sex or contraceptive failure (such as a missed pill or broken condom). There are two main types of emergency contraception available in the UK:

1. Emergency Contraceptive Pill (Morning-After Pill):

   • Available in two types: Levonorgestrel (can be taken up to 72 hours after unprotected sex) and ellaOne (effective up to 120 hours after unprotected sex).
   • The sooner you take it, the more effective it is in preventing pregnancy.

2. Copper IUD (Intrauterine Device):

   • Can be fitted by a healthcare provider within five days (120 hours) of unprotected sex.
   • The most effective form of emergency contraception, preventing pregnancy nearly 100% of the time.

How to Get Emergency Contraception at Dyserth Pharmacy

We offer emergency contraception pills without a prescription. You can walk into our pharmacy and speak to one of our qualified pharmacists for advice on which option is best for you. The consultation is confidential and non-judgmental, ensuring you receive the care you need quickly and comfortably.

Who Can Use Emergency Contraception?

Emergency contraception is suitable for most women and can be used in a variety of situations, including:

• Unprotected sex.
• Contraceptive failure (e.g., missed birth control pills or condom breakage).
• Sexual assault (if contraception was not used).

Our pharmacy team can also advise if you are unsure whether emergency contraception is right for you.

Understanding the Morning-After Pill

The morning-after pill works by delaying or preventing ovulation, reducing the likelihood of pregnancy. It is most effective when taken as soon as possible after unprotected sex, but can be taken within 72 to 120 hours depending on the type of pill.

We offer two types of morning-after pills:

• Levonorgestrel: Effective up to 72 hours after unprotected sex.
• ellaOne: Effective up to 120 hours after unprotected sex.
