About
About emergency contraception
Emergency contraception prevents pregnancy after unprotected sex or contraceptive failure. If you have had unprotected sex within the last 3-5 days, the emergency contraceptive pill can be taken to help prevent pregnancy when other forms of contraception have failed. Methods include pills like levonorgestrel (Plan B) and ulipristal acetate. It is most effective when taken as soon as possible after intercourse.

FAQs
Frequently asked questions
The morning after pill is an emergency contraceptive taken after unprotected sex to reduce the risk of pregnancy. It works primarily by delaying or preventing ovulation. It is not an abortion pill and will not affect an existing pregnancy. Two types are available: levonorgestrel and ulipristal acetate.
The morning after pill is most effective when taken as soon as possible after unprotected sex. Levonorgestrel can be taken within 72 hours, while ulipristal acetate can be taken up to 120 hours (5 days) after intercourse. Effectiveness decreases the longer you wait, so acting quickly is strongly advised.
Yes. SwiftDoctor allows you to order the morning after pill online following a short consultation. Once approved by a prescriber, your emergency contraception is dispatched quickly and delivered discreetly to your door.
Levonorgestrel is effective for up to 72 hours after unprotected sex and is available over the counter. Ulipristal acetate is effective for up to 120 hours and may be more suitable in certain circumstances. Your SwiftDoctor prescriber will advise which emergency contraceptive pill is most appropriate for you.
Plan B is a brand name for the levonorgestrel emergency contraceptive pill, and is one of several emergency contraceptive plan B options available. Emergency contraception is a broader term that covers all methods used to prevent pregnancy after unprotected sex, including both types of morning after pill.
You should consider using emergency contraception if you have had unprotected sex, your regular contraception has failed (for example, a broken condom or missed pill), or you were not using any form of contraception. It is not intended for regular use and does not protect against sexually transmitted infections.
