'''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.
* In Jamaica, you can purchase emergency contraceptive pills (morning after pills) from a pharmacist. No prescription is required. You can find morning after pills sold in pharmacies, clinics, and programs that are associated with the International Planned Parenthood Foundation (IPPF).
