In Ukraine, you technically need a prescription to obtain emergency contraception (the morning after pill).<ref>[http://www.cecinfo.org/country-by-country-information/status-availability-database/countries/ukraine/ EC Status and Availability: Ukraine]</ref> However, we're not sure if this law is actually enforced, of if pharmacists still generally sell the pills over-the-counter. | |||
===What to Get & Where to Get It=== | ===What to Get & Where to Get It=== | ||
* In Ukraine, you can find dedicated emergency contraception (the morning after pill) at pharmacies or public sector clinics. For anti-progestin EC, you can find Dvella or Gynepriston (you take 1 pill within 120 hours after unprotected sex). For progestin-only EC, you can find Escapelle or Escapelle 1.5 (for these pills, you take 1 pill within 120 hours after unprotected sex). You can also find Postinor (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. Just remember that, in 28-day packs, only the first 21 pills can be used. To do this, 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 Microgynon, Microgynon-30, Minisiston, Rigevidon or Ovidon (for these, you take 4 pills within 120 hours after unprotected sex and take 4 more pills 12 hours later). | |||
* For more information, visit the [http://ec.princeton.edu/ Princeton EC website]. | |||

* This is a much more expensive option, but it may interest some people: At [http://amcenters.com/ American Medical Center], they offer a "Women's STD Package" for $210 USD (as of February 2017). The package includes blood tests (HIV, syphilis and pregnancy test), urine tests, vaginal examination (including routine pelvic exam and visual inspection of vagina and cervix), pap smear, HPV test and pelvic ultrasound. They also have more expensive packages (going up to $350 USD), which include more services. | |||

* [http://amcenters.com/ American Medical Center]: This place has mixed reviews (some people had good experiences and some people had bad experiences). It's not cheap, but they do seem to promise a "higher" standard of care (we can't confirm if this is true). They cater to foreigners. As of February 2017, gynecological exams cost between $95-$265 USD at AMC. | |||
