* In Tanzania, you technically need a prescription to obtain emergency contraception (the morning after pill). However, many pharmacists will give you EC without a prescription (especially pharmacists that work at more international pharmacies). Some dedicated emergency contraception brands you can expect to see are P2 and Trust Daisy. You can find Trust Daisy sold by Trust Health & Wellness Clinic for Tsh 2,000 (they ask you to book an appointment to get the EC). | * In Tanzania, you technically need a prescription to obtain emergency contraception (the morning after pill).

* If you can't access dedicated emergency contraception, you can use some oral contraceptives as replacement EC instead. To do this, you can use progestin-only or combined progestin-estrogen pills. If you use progestin-only, you can use Microlut or Microval (take 50 pills within 120 hours after unprotected sex). If you use progestin-estrogen combined pills, remember that in 28-day packs, only the first 21 pills can be used. You can use Eugynon, Nordiol and Ovral (take 2 pills within 120 hours after unprotected sex and take 2 more pills 12 hours later). You can also use Lo-Femenal, Microgynon-30 or Nordette (take 4 pills within 120 hours after unprotected sex and take 4 more pills 12 hours later).<ref>[http://ec.princeton.edu/ Princeton EC | * If you can't access dedicated emergency contraception, you can use some oral contraceptives as replacement EC instead.
