    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.
