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.
