In Bosnia and Herzegovina, 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).<ref>[https://www.cecinfo.org/country-by-country-information/status-availability-database/countries/bosnia-and-herzegovina/  EC Status and Availability - Bosnia and Herzegovina]</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.
* Emergency contraceptive pills are available, but a prescription is required. You can find emergency contraceptive pills at pharmacies, clinics, or programs affiliated with the International Planned Parenthood Foundation. Some brands you may find are NorLevo 1.5mg, Vikela, and ellaOne.<ref>[https://www.cecinfo.org/country-by-country-information/status-availability-database/countries/bosnia-and-herzegovina/  EC Status and Availability - Bosnia and Herzegovina]</ref>
