In Turkmenistan, emergency contraceptive pills (morning after pills) are available, but a prescription is technically required. We still need to confirm whether these laws are commonly followed by pharmacists (if you know, update this page).<ref>https://www.cecinfo.org/country-by-country-information/status-availability-database/countries/turkmenistan/ EC Status and Availability - Turkmenistan]</ref> | |||

* You can obtain emergency contraceptive pills (morning after pills), but you may need a prescription (we need to confirm this). Some brands you may find at pharmacies and family planning clinics are Escapelle, Postinor, and Dvella.<ref>https://www.cecinfo.org/country-by-country-information/status-availability-database/countries/turkmenistan/ EC Status and Availability - Turkmenistan]</ref> | |||
* 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. | |||
