'''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.

Note that EC pills are not 100% effective and should be taken as soon as possible. | * '''Note:''' The longest-lasting EC is currently [http://www.ellaone.com/ ellaOne].
