Levonorgestrel (Levonelle) and ellaOne are two types of emergency contraceptives available to prevent pregnancy after unprotected sex. Levonorgestrel should be taken within 3 days and ellaOne within 5 days to maximize effectiveness. These pills can alter the timing or intensity of your next period. If you vomit within 2 hours of taking Levonelle or 3 hours of taking ellaOne, seek medical advice promptly to discuss taking another dose or getting an IUD fitted, which is more effective in preventing pregnancy. It’s essential to reserve emergency contraception for urgent situations and not rely on it regularly.
Taking the morning-after pill within 24 hours after unprotected sex can be about 95% effective, but its effectiveness decreases over time. By 72 hours, the effectiveness of the pill can drop to about 58%.
The morning-after pill should not be used regularly as it is less effective than standard contraceptive methods and does not protect against STIs. For ongoing birth control, use methods like the pill, condom, or IUD.
The Family Chemist provides the morning-after pill. Sexual health clinics, certain GP surgeries, and some NHS walk-in centres also offer the pill. Eligible individuals may receive the pill for free at some services.
Our online consultation tool will support you to find the right treatment for your personal circumstances. We’ll support you achieve the sexual performance you and your partner desire.
Emergency contraception can prevent pregnancy after unprotected sex or if the contraception you have used has failed – for example, a condom has split or you have missed a pill. The treatment comes in a single pill form and it is most effective when taken straight away although it can be effective up to 5 days afterwards. Order now and don’t delay for next day delivery.
