===What to Get & Where to Get It===


'''Note:''' The longest-lasting EC is currently [http://www.ellaone.com/ ellaOne]. It lasts up to 5 days (120 hours) after unprotected sex. Check to see if your country carries ellaOne. If your country doesn't carry ellaOne, 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.
Here's a full breakdown of what you can expect to find, thanks to the [http://ec.princeton.edu/worldwide/ Princeton EC Website]:
 
''Dedicated Products / Anti-Progestin Take 1 pill within 120 hours after unprotected sex:''
ella
 
''Dedicated Products / Progestin Only Take 1 pill within 120 hours after unprotected sex:''
My Way
Next Choice One Dose
Plan B One-Step
Take Action
 
''Take 2 pills within 120 hours after unprotected sex:''
Levonorgestrel Tablets (available from a pharmacist without a prescription)
 
If you can't access emergency contraception, many oral contraceptives can be used as replacement EC. The list of potential contraceptives that can be used for this purpose is very long, and instructions vary according to the specific brand. So, to find specific instructions based on the brands you may have available, please check out the [http://ec.princeton.edu/worldwide/ Princeton EC Website]. You can search for EC under "United States" and see recommended pills and dosages on that site.
