Asunción: Difference between revisions

* In Paraguay, you should be able to purchase emergency contraception (the morning after pill) at public sector clinics, pharmacies, IPPF-affiliated systems and social marketing programs (e.g. PSI, DKT, MSI and PSIA). For progestin-only pills, you can find Imediat N, Postinor-2, Pregnon and Pronta (for these, 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 can take Control NF (take 2 pills within 120 hours after unprotected sex and take 2 more pills 12 hours later). You can also take Anulit (take 8 pills within 120 hours after unprotected sex). You can take Norgeal (take 40 pills within 120 hours after unprotected sex). You can also take combined progestin-estrogen pills as replacement EC but you should remember that, in 28-day packs, only the first 21 pills can be used. To do this, you can take Control or Neogynon (for these brands, take 2 pills within 120 hours after unprotected sex and take 2 more pills 12 hours later). You can take Microgynon (take 4 pills within 120 hours after unprotected sex and take 4 more pills 12 hours later). You can also take Norvetal 20 (take 5 pills within 120 hours after unprotected sex and take 5 more pills 12 hours later).
