===What to Get & Where to Get It===


'''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. If your country doesn't carry ellaOne, copper IUDs may also prevent pregnancy up to 5 days after unprotected sex. If none of these options are available, and it's been over 3 days since you had unprotected sex, you can still take EC, which may work up to 5 days. Note that EC pills are not 100% effective and should be taken as soon as possible.
* In Hungary, you need a prescription for emergency contraception (the morning after pill). If you have a prescription, you can get ellaOne (take 1 pill within 120 hours after unprotected sex), which is currently considered the most effective EC on the market. You can also get Escapelle (take 1 pill within 120 hours after unprotected sex) and Rigesoft (take 2 pills within 120 hours after unprotected sex).
* If you can't access dedicated emergency contraception, you can use regular birth control pills as replacement EC. To do this, you should remember that, in 28-day packs, only the first 21 pills can be used. You can take Ovidon (take 2 pills within 120 hours after unprotected sex and take 2 more pills 12 hours later). You can also take Rigevidon or Rigevidon 21 (take 4 pills within 120 hours after unprotected sex and take 4 more pills 12 hours later).
* You can also get an IUD to prevent pregnancy after unprotected sex. See the "Contraception (Birth Control)" section for details.
