What is the Morning-After Pill?
The morning-after pill is a type of emergency contraception designed to prevent pregnancy after unprotected sex or contraceptive failure (e.g., missed pill, condom breakage). It works by delaying or preventing ovulation, ensuring that an egg is not released for fertilisation.
Key Facts About the Morning-After Pill:
✔ Most effective when taken as soon as possible after unprotected sex.
✔ Can be taken up to 3–5 days after sex, depending on the type.
✔ Does not cause an abortion and will not affect an existing pregnancy.
✔ Safe for most women, but may not be suitable if you are on certain medications.
The sooner you take the morning-after pill, the more effective it is.
How Effective is the Morning-After Pill?
- While no emergency contraception is 100% effective, the morning-after pill significantly reduces the risk of pregnancy:
- Levonelle – Prevents up to 95% of pregnancies if taken within 24 hours.
- ellaOne – Reduces the risk even after 3–5 days, with a higher success rate than Levonelle.
