Emergency contraception can prevent pregnancy after unprotected sex. Emergency contraception pills are taken in 2 doses. The first dose should be taken within the 72 hours after unprotected sex, and the second dose should be taken 12 hours later. The sooner you start the medicine after unprotected sex, the more effective the treatment is. Find out whether your Health Services offers emergency contraception and whether it can be given out in advance.
