* In Italy, you can purchase emergency contraception/the morning after pill ("pillola del giorno dopo" in Italian) at pharmacies. For many brands, you no longer need a prescription, which is a new update as of 2015. Some brands you can expect to see are ellaOne (this is an anti-progestin pill, and it's considered the most effective but it's a bit more expensive). There's also some progestin-only brands (which are cheaper but usually not effective after 3 days), such as Lonel, NorLevo 1.5mg, Unlevo 1500 and Levonelle. For all of these brands, you should take the pill as soon as possible after unprotected sex in order to prevent pregnancy. For more details about accessing these pills with or without prescriptions, see the section above ("Laws & Social Stigmas"). | |||
* If you can't access dedicated emergency contraception, you can use birth control pills as replacement EC. Remember that, in 28-day packs, only the first 21 pills can be used. You can take Novogyn 21 (take 2 pills within 120 hours after unprotected sex and take 2 more pills 12 hours later). You can also take Microgynon or Ovranet (for both of these brands, take 4 pills within 120 hours after unprotected sex and take 4 more pills 12 hours later). There's also Loette and Miranova (for both of these brands, take 5 pills within 120 hours after unprotected sex and take 5 more pills 12 hours later). | |||
Note: "RU-486 (Mifegyne) est une pilule utilisée sous supervision médicale dans un hôpital qui interrompt une grosses sous 49jours après implantation d'oeufs fertilisés. Elle est légale en Italie, cependant certains gouvernements régionaux sont opposés à son usage et elle pourra ainsi ne pas être accessible dans certains endroits.[2] | Note: "RU-486 (Mifegyne) est une pilule utilisée sous supervision médicale dans un hôpital qui interrompt une grosses sous 49jours après implantation d'oeufs fertilisés.
