Emergency Contraception is a pill that works to:

• Delay Ovulation

• Prevent Fertilization of an egg

• Prevent Implantation of a Fertilized egg

Emergency Contraception is not a simple answer to a simple question.  These are a few things to consider:

• Am I already pregnant from a previous sexual experience?
• Has this drug been adequately tested for short and long-term side effects?
• What are the effects of this drug when interacting with other medications?

Understanding the way emergency contraception works and its side effects is a step that helps you make a healthy decision for your body.

Emergency Contraception is not the same as the Abortion Pill or RU-486.
