* You can obtain dedicated emergency contraception in Sweden at pharmacies, public sector clinics or emergency rooms. You can purchase [http://www.ellaone.se/ ellaOne], which is considered the most effective EC on the market (as of January 2017). For ellaOne, you don't need a prescription but you may need to talk to the pharmacist. To take ellaOne properly, you take 1 pill within 120 hours after unprotected sex. Other dedicated EC brands that you can find are NorLevo 1.5mg and Postinor 1.5. For these brands, they can be purchased over-the-counter and you don't need to consult with a pharmacist. You should take 1 pill within 120 hours after unprotected sex.

* If you can't access dedicated emergency contraception, you can use regular oral contraceptives (birth control pills) as emergency contraception. For progestin-only pills, you can take Follistrel or Microval (take 50 pills within 120 hours after unprotected sex). For combined pills (progestin-estrogen), you'll need to remember that, in 28-day packs, only the first 21 pills can be used. You can take Follinette or Nordiol (for both of these brands, take 2 pills within 120 hours after unprotected sex and take 2 more pills 12 hours later). You can also take Follimin, Neovletta or Nordette (for these brands, take 4 pills within 120 hours after unprotected sex and take 4 more pills 12 hours later).
