'''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 the Czech Republic, you can purchase emergency contraception (the morning after pill) without a prescription at pharmacies. If you would like to purchase anti-progestin EC, there's ellaOne (take 1 pill within 120 hours after unprotected sex). Currently, ellaOne is considered the most effective EC on the market. Here's the a link to the [http://www.ellaone.cz/ Czech ellaOne website]. You can also find Escapelle (take 1 pill within 120 hours after unprotected sex) or Postinor-2 (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 need o remember that, in 28-day packs, only the first 21 pills can be used. You can then find Microgynon or Minisiston. For either of these brands, you should take 4 pills within 120 hours after unprotected sex and take 4 more pills 12 hours later.
* You can also get an IUD as a way to prevent pregnancy after unprotected sex. Check out the "Contraception (Birth Control)" section for details.
