- You can purchase dedicated emergency contraception in Ireland without a prescription. To do this, you can go to a pharmacy, emergency room, public clinic or private clinic and say that you want emergency contraception. They may give you a brief consultation or questionnaire before they give you the pills. You can buy ellaOne (take 1 pill within 120 hours after unprotected sex), which is an anti-progestin pill and currently the most effective EC on the market. Here's a link to the ellaOne website for Ireland, if you want more information. You can also purchase progestin-only emergency contraception, such as Levonelle 1500 or NorLevo 1.5mg (for these take 1 pill within 120 hours after unprotected sex). You should note that, generally, most EC lasts for 3 days but ella can be effective for up to 5 days.[1]
- If you can't access dedicated emergency contraception, you can use oral contraceptive (regular birth control) instead. To do this, you should remember to only use the first 21 pills in 28-day packs. You can take Ovranette or Ovranette 30 (take 4 pills within 120 hours after unprotected sex and take 4 more pills 12 hours later). You can also take Microlite or Miranova (take 5 pills within 120 hours after unprotected sex and take 5 more pills 12 hours later).[2]
- You can also get an IUD as emergency contraception. To see your options, check out the "Contraception (Birth Control)" section.
