If you have had sex without using contraception or think your contraception might have failed, arrange to see the Doctor or Nurse as quickly as possible. You should do so within 72 hours of unprotected sex. However treatment in the first 24 hours is the most effective. It would be helpful if you tell the receptionist you require emergency contraception so that she can arrange an urgent appointment.
Most pharmacies can dispense the emergency contraceptive pill to women over 16 years of age for a fee, without a Doctor’s prescription. The Walk In Centres and The Contraceptive Clinic also offer this service.
