'''Important Notes:''' Emergency contraception may prevent pregnancy for three days (72 hours) and sometimes five days (120 hours) after unprotected sex. Take EC '''as soon as possible''' after unprotected sex. If you don't have access to dedicated EC, oral contraceptives can be used as replacement EC, but remember the following: 1) Only some contraceptives work as EC 2) Different contraceptives require different dosages and time schedules to work as EC 3) You must only use the first 21 pills in 28-day packs and 4) They may be less effective than dedicated EC. For general information on emergency contraceptives, click [https://www.plannedparenthood.org/learn/morning-after-pill-emergency-contraception here] and [http://ec.princeton.edu/info/ecp.html here]. | '''Important Notes:''' Emergency contraception may prevent pregnancy for three days (72 hours) and sometimes five days (120 hours) after unprotected sex.

In Madagascar, emergency contraceptive pills (morning after pills) are available, but a prescription is required. We still need to confirm whether these laws are commonly followed by pharmacists (if you know, update this page). You can find emergency contraceptive pills at pharmacies or programs affiliated with the International Planned Parenthood Foundation. In 2008-09, it was estimated that about 10% of women (of reproductive age) in Madagascar had knowledge of emergency contraceptive options, and 0.5% of women (of reproductive age) in Madagascar had ever used emergency contraceptive pills have ever used emergency contraceptive pills.<ref>[https://www.cecinfo.org/country-by-country-information/status-availability-database/countries/madagascar/ EC Status and Availability - Madagascar]</ref> | |||

* You can obtain emergency contraceptive pills (morning after pills) at pharmacies, clinics, and programs affiliated with the International Planned Parenthood Foundation, but you may need a prescription (we need to confirm this). Some brands you may find are NorLevo 1.5mg, Pill 72, Pregnon, and Revoke 72.<ref>[https://www.cecinfo.org/country-by-country-information/status-availability-database/countries/madagascar/ EC Status and Availability - Madagascar]</ref> | |||
* 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. | |||
