Emergency contraception pills are a form of birth control that can be used to prevent pregnancy after unprotected sex or if a regular method of contraception fails. They work primarily by delaying ovulation, thereby preventing fertilization. Some types may also interfere with the fertilization of an egg or the implantation of a fertilized egg in the uterus.
The effectiveness of ECPs depends on how quickly they are taken after unprotected sex. Generally, they are more effective the sooner they are taken. They can reduce the risk of pregnancy by 75-89% when taken within 72 hours (3 days) after unprotected sex. Some types of ECPs are effective up to 5 days after sex, but their effectiveness diminishes over time.
Common side effects can include nausea, fatigue, headache, dizziness, breast tenderness, and changes in menstrual flow. These symptoms are typically mild and short-lived. If you vomit within two hours of taking an ECP, you may need to take another dose.
