'''Important Notes:''' Emergency contraception may prevent pregnancy for three days (72 hours) and sometimes five days (120 hours) after unprotected sex. Take EC '''as soon as possible''' after unprotected sex. If you don't have access to dedicated EC, oral contraceptives can be used as replacement EC, but remember the following: 1) Only some contraceptives work as EC 2) Different contraceptives require different dosages and time schedules to work as EC 3) You must only use the first 21 pills in 28-day packs and 4) They may be less effective than dedicated EC.

In the Seychelles, abortion is only legally permitted in certain circumstances, which are: the pregnancy endangers the life, physical, or mental health of the pregnant person, or if there is severe risk risk of fetal handicap or malformation. In all other cases, abortion is illegal. <ref>[https://seylii.org/sc/legislation/consolidated-act/236 Termination of Pregnancy Act]</ref> | |||
