'''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.

In the last few years, emergency contraception (the morning after pill) has become commercialized in Morocco.<ref>[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emergency_contraceptive_availability_by_country Emergency contraceptive availability by country]</ref> You can buy it at pharmacies without a prescription, according to locals. Technically, you may be required to have a prescription, according to Moroccan law,<ref>[http://www.cecinfo.org/country-by-country-information/status-availability-database/countries/morocco/ EC Status and Availability: Morocco]</ref> but this doesn't seem to be widely enforced. There are stories of many pharmacists, some of whom may even appear "religious," selling emergency contraception to locals without judgment, questioning or shaming.
