One local reported the total cost at GP to be $80 ($30-40 for the consultation and $40-50 for the pill). However, another local says, "The cheapest clinics tend to be in the heartland HDB estates. My GP in such an estate charges $25 for a short consult. You can also opt to go to a polyclinic - for example, https://www.nhgp.com.sg/."

* If you can't access dedicated emergency contraception, you can use some regular birth control pills as replacement EC. You need to remember that, in 28-day packs, only the first 21 pills can be used. You can take Microgynon, Microgynon-30 or Nordette (take 4 pills within 120 hours after unprotected sex and take 4 more pills 12 hours later). You can also take Loette (take 5 pills within 120 hours after unprotected sex and take 5 more pills 12 hours later).
