Emergency Contraception in Harrow
How Does the Morning After Pill Work?
The morning after pill works by delaying ovulation to prevent pregnancy. There are two main types available:
- Levonelle – Contains a synthetic version of progesterone to prevent ovulation.
- EllaOne – Blocks progesterone to stop or delay egg release.
These pills do not induce abortion and will not be effective if pregnancy has already occurred. They are most effective when taken as soon as possible after unprotected intercourse.
Who Can Take the Morning After Pill?
- Women who have had unprotected sex or contraceptive failure (e.g., missed pill, broken condom).
- Individuals who cannot use hormonal contraception regularly but need emergency protection.
- Women under 16 years old can also take the morning after pill following medical consultation.
- Those looking for a discreet and professional consultation for emergency contraception.
