- To say/write "emergency contraception," here it is in Arabic (وسائل منع الحمل في حالات الطوارئ) and French (contraception d'urgence).
- In Tunisia, you can purchase emergency contraception (the morning after pill) without a prescription. You can find EC at pharmacies and IPPF-affiliated programs. You should be able to find NorLevo (take 1 pill within 120 hours after unprotected sex).[1] You may also be able to access ellaOne, which is currently considered the most effective EC on the market, but a prescription may be required.[2]
- If you can't access dedicated emergency contraception, you can use regular birth control pills as replacement EC. To do this, you can take Microval (take 50 pills within 120 hours after unprotected sex). You can also take progestin-estrogen combined pills but remember that, in 28-day packs, only the first 21 pills can be used. You can take Neogynon (take 2 pills within 120 hours after unprotected sex and take 2 more pills 12 hours later) and Microgynon-30 (take 4 pills within 120 hours after unprotected sex and take 4 more pills 12 hours later).[3]
