We are unclear if emergency contraceptive pills (morning after pills) are available in Afghanistan. There is no information on dedicated emergency contraception in Afghanistan provided in global databases, such as the Princeton EC website or the International Consortium for Emergency Contraception (ICEC) website, as of March 2018. The only information we could find was that it appeared that no dedicated emergency contraceptives were legally registered with the Afghan government.<ref>[http://www.cecinfo.org/country-by-country-information/status-availability-database/countries/afghanistan/ EC Status and Availability: Afghanistan]</ref> If you have information related to the legality and accessibility of dedicated emergency contraception in Afghanistan, please update this page. | |||

* It may be difficult to access dedicated emergency contraceptive pills (ECPs) in Afghanistan. However, you can try to use regular oral contraceptives (birth control pills) as replacement ECPs. To do this, you can take Stediril-d (take 2 pills within 120 hours after unprotected sex and take 2 more pills 12 hours later).<ref>[http://ec.princeton.edu/ Princeton EC Website]</ref> For updated information on how to use birth control pills as replacement ECPs in Afghanistan, please visit the [http://ec.princeton.edu/ Princeton EC Website]. | |||
