There are varying reports regarding the legality and accessibility of EC (morning after pill) in Guatemala. However, it can generally be stated that dedicated EC is either fully illegal or very hard to get. For this reason, if you do need some form of EC, it's recommended to use hormonal birth control as replacement EC. You'll find instructions below in the "What to Get & Where to Get It" section on how to do this. There are also many pharmacists in Guatemala City who will be willing to help you understand how to take birth control as EC as well. | There are varying reports regarding the legality and accessibility of EC (morning after pill) in Guatemala.
