Morning after pills work best if taken early, delay can result in failure. Do NOT order after having unprotected sex - see a doctor or pharmacist if you need a morning after pill straight away. Ordering by post is NOT fast enough.

Are you aware that having an emergency copper coil (IUD) fitted is more effective than taking the morning after pill?

Yes No

A copper coil can be fitted as an emergency, by some GPs or at a sexual health clinic, up to 5 days after intercourse or within 5 days of expected ovulation.

Are you aware that 'morning after pills' are not 100% effective?

Yes No

Levonelle can be taken up to 72 hours (3 days) and ellaOne up to 120 hours (5 days) after sex. The most effective emergency contraception is fitting an IUD (copper coil) up to 5 days after sex or 5 days after ovulation.

Are you aware that regular contraception is more reliable than occasional use of emergency contraception?

Yes No

The most reliable contraception is long acting reversible contraception (LARC) such as coils, implants, or injections. Other alternatives are combined pills, progestogen only pills (POP), contraceptive patches and vaginal rings, or caps, and condoms.

Are you aware the morning after pill will not work if you are already pregnant?

Yes No

Levonelle and ellaOne will NOT terminate an existing pregnancy. There is no evidence they will harm an ongoing pregnancy.

Are you aware Levonelle is less effective in women who are overweight?

Yes No

If your BMI (Body Mass Index) calculator result is 26 or above ellaOne will be more effective and should usually be ordered instead. If unable to use ellaOne, then two tablets of Levonelle (levonorgestrel 1.5mg) should be taken at the same time if BMI is 26 or over. This is an off label use and doctors take responsibility for the prescribing. If this applies to you, by ordering 2 tablets as a single dose you consent to the off label prescribing.

Are you aware Levonelle and ellaOne should NOT both be taken in the same menstrual cycle without consulting a doctor or contraception specialist?

Yes No
