In Saudi Arabia, dedicated emergency contraception (the morning after pill) is not generally available. In the past, it has been by prescription only,<ref>[http://www.cecinfo.org/country-by-country-information/status-availability-database/countries/saudi-arabia/ EC Status and Availability: Saudi Arabia]</ref> and it may be currently banned from the country, [https://www.reddit.com/r/saudiarabia/comments/1hiosb/the_availability_of_emergency_contraception_or/ as discussed in this Reddit thread]. We're not sure who was previously allowed to get a prescription or the laws around prescription accessibility today. | |||
However, if you have had unprotected sex and don't want to get pregnant, you do have options. You can use regular birth control pills, which are available in Saudi Arabia, as replacement emergency contraception. We have provided instructions for how to do this in the section below. | |||
