Emergency contraception is a safe and effective method of preventing pregnancy when regular contraception has failed or if no contraception was used. Emergency contraception can be effective for up to 120 hours after unprotected sex but it is more effective the sooner it is used.

Pure Pharmacy offers emergency contraception without a prescription, subject to meeting essential medical criteria.
