===What to Get & Where to Get It===
===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 Malaysia, you can buy most dedicated emergency contraception (the morning after pill) at pharmacies and IPPF-affiliated systems without a prescription. If you want anti-progestin pills, you can take ellaOne (take 1 pill within 120 hours after unprotected sex), but you may need a prescription for ellaOne.<ref>[http://www.cecinfo.org/country-by-country-information/status-availability-database/countries/malaysia/ EC Status and Availability: Malaysia]</ref> If you want progestin-only pills, you can find Escapelle (take 1 pill within 120 hours after unprotected sex), Estinor, Me Tablet 0.75mg, Postinor-2 and Pregnon (take 2 pills within 120 hours after unprotected sex).  
* If you can't access emergency contraception, you can use regular birth control as replacement EC. To do this, you can take progestin-only pills: Microlut 35 (take 50 pills within 120 hours after unprotected sex). You can also take combined progestin-estrogen pills but remember that, in 28-day packs, only the first 21 pills can be used. For these pills, you can take Eugynon, Neogynon or Nordiol (take 2 pills within 120 hours after unprotected sex and take 2 more pills 12 hours later). You can take Microgynon, Nordette, Riget or Rigevidon (take 4 pills within 120 hours after unprotected sex and take 4 more pills 12 hours later). You can also take Loette (take 5 pills within 120 hours after unprotected sex and take 5 more pills 12 hours later).
* This information was provided by the [http://ec.princeton.edu/ Princeton EC website], so please visit it for more details.
