'''Important Notes:''' The earlier you take emergency contraception, the more effectively it works. After unprotected sex, take EC '''as soon as possible'''. If you don't have access to EC, you can use oral contraceptives as EC, but remember the following: 1) Only some contraceptives work as EC (so confirm they work as EC) 2) Different contraceptives require different dosages to work as EC (so get the proper instructions) 3) You must only use the first 21 pills in 28-day packs and 4) You must also take the pills as soon as possible. | '''Important Notes:''' The earlier you take emergency contraception, the more effectively it works.
