About emergency contraception

Emergency contraception, often known as the morning after pill, is a contraceptive method that’s used after unprotected sex to prevent pregnancy.
You may decide to take emergency contraception if:
  • You’ve had sex without using contraception.
  • You’re worried a condom broke or leaked.
  • You missed your regular contraceptive pill.
  • You’ve recently been sick or had diarrhoea, so your regular contraceptive pill may be less effective.
Avoid taking emergency contraception if you have:
  • A hypersensitivity to progestogens
  • Severe liver disease
  • Acute porphyria
  • Difficulties absorbing nutrients or medications
  • Severe asthma, and you use oral steroids
Some medications may interact with oral emergency contraception and make it less effective, such as antiepileptic drugs, antibiotics and retroviral medications.
ellaOne® is the most effective morning after pill. It’s 98% effective when taken within a five day window after unprotected sex.
Levonorgestrel is considered to be:
  • 95% effective taken within 24 hours (1 day) of unprotected sex
  • 85% effective taken within 25–48 hours (2 days) of unprotected sex
  • 58% effective taken within 49–72 hours (3 days) of unprotected sex
Both medcines are most effective when taken as soon as possible.
Order before 4pm for same day dispatch, subject to clinical approval.
MedExpress offers a range of delivery options at checkout, including next day delivery by 9am. You can chose to have your order delivered direct to your home or work, or optionally collect from a local Post Office.
