Emergency Contraception
Emergency Contraception (EC) is a method of preventing pregnancy after unprotected sexual intercourse and is available for dispensing from the health service office. This method can be taken up to five days after unprotected sex, however is most effective when used within 48 to 72 hours after unprotected intercourse. EC does not protect against sexually transmitted diseases. EC can be used when a condom breaks, after a sexual assault, or any time unprotected sexual intercourse occurs. EC is not intended to be used as a primary method of contraception. Please discuss EC and other contraceptive options with your practitioner at the time of your appointment.
