Find RX Pills

Clip thanks to www.medstores.net Emergency contraception is also known as post coital contraception and can prevent pregnancy after unprotected intercourse. It is not quite true to say ‘the morning after the night before’ as it can actually work up to 72 hours of unprotected sex. There are two forms of emergency contraception – one is by way of hormonal contraceptive tablets and the other is by insertion of a copper coil or intrauterine device (IUD). The emergency contraceptive pills are high dose oestrogen pills and are taken in two separate doses. The first dose must be taken within 72 hours of unprotected intercourse followed by the second dose 12 hours later. It is important to make sure that there were no previous bouts of unprotected intercourse prior to this 72-hour window. If this was the case the woman could already be pregnant and the pills would be contraindicated. The IUD can be inserted up to five days after unprotected intercourse in the hope of preventing pregnancy.
