'''Note:''' The longest-lasting EC is currently [http://www.ellaone.com/ ellaOne]. It lasts up to 5 days (120 hours) after unprotected sex. Currently, Brazil does not carry ellaOne but this may change. Furthermore, copper IUDs may also prevent pregnancy up to 5 days after unprotected sex. If none of these options are available, and it's been over 3 days since you had unprotected sex, you can still take EC, which may work up to 5 days. Note that EC pills are not 100% effective and should be taken as soon as possible. | '''Note:''' The longest-lasting EC is currently [http://www.ellaone.com/ ellaOne].

In Brazil, if you would like to buy dedicated, progestin-only EC, you can find Postinor Uno and Pozato Uni (take 1 pill within 120 hours after unprotected sex). Furthermore, there is also Diad, Minipil 2, Nogravide, Pilem, Poslov, Postinor-2, Pozato, PPMS, Previdez 2 and Prevyol (take 2 pills within 120 hours after unprotected sex). If you cannot access dedicated EC, you can use some regular oral contraceptives as EC instead. For progestin-only pills, you can use Microval or Nortrel (take 50 pills within 120 hours after unprotected sex). For progestin-estrogen combined pills, you can take Anfertil, Evanor, Neovlar, Nordiol, Normamor, Ovral or Primovlar (take 2 pills within 120 hours after unprotected sex and take 2 more pills 12 hours late). There is also Ciclo 21, Ciclon, Gestrelan, Microvlar, Nociclin or Nordette (take 4 pills within 120 hours after unprotected sex and take 4 more pills 12 hours later).<ref>[http://ec.princeton.edu/worldwide/ Emergency Contraception Website]</ref> | |||
