Emergency contraception is a method for occasional use only. It should therefore not replace any other method of contraception and should not be taken regularly.
If vomiting occurs within the first 3 hours after taking the medicine, another tablet should be taken.
A pregnancy test is recommended if menstruation is delayed for more than 5 days or in case of unusual bleeding or pregnancy symptoms.
We recommend using a regular method of contraception, as unprotected sexual intercourse can lead to STDs (Sexually Transmitted Diseases).
