Remember!
• ECP is NOT a regular family planning method. It is only for
emergency situations
• It gives women a second chance to prevent an unwanted
pregnancy from unprotected intercourse
• Consult a health care provider immediately after first use
• ECPs should be used within 72 hours of unprotected
intercourse
• ECPs cannot cause abortion
• Repeated use of EC pills decrease the effectiveness of the pill,
increases side-effects as the amount of hormones consumed
would be much higher than the regular
oral hormonal pills
• Hence, ECPs are not a substitute for
regular contraception.
