What is Emergency contraception?
Emergency contraception is a safe and effective way to prevent pregnancy after sex. It’s most effective the sooner it’s taken. There are two main types of emergency contraceptive pills available in New Zealand — one is effective up to 3 days after sex, and the other up to 5 days. Emergency contraception doesn’t cause abortion and won’t work if you’re already pregnant.
What are the Symptoms of Emergency contraception ?
Symptoms vary but often include:
You’re unsure what’s going on and want a doctor’s opinion.
Your condition isn’t listed under our specific treatment categories.
Your condition is listed but complicated for other reasons.
If you already know what you need help with you can book directly through our Condition-Based Services.

Treatment depends on the cause and severity of your symptoms:

Situations requiring a physical exam or hands-on assessment
If you're experiencing a serious medical issue — including chest pain, difficulty breathing, or mental health crises — call 111 immediately and request an ambulance.
