Act fast if:
You’ve missed a pill
A condom broke or slipped
You’ve had unprotected sex in the last 72 hours
Emergency contraception works best the sooner you take it. It’s available for free (even if you’re under 16) from:
✔ Sexual health clinics
✔ Many pharmacies
✔ Some GP practices
What next?
Protect your health: Unprotected sex also risks STIs—get tested.
Plan ahead: Discuss long-term contraception options with us.
Still within 5 days? An emergency coil (IUD) can be fitted at a sexual health clinic.
