Emergency contraception is a safe and effective way to prevent pregnancy if regular contraception has failed or if no contraception was used.

It can be effective for up to 120 hours after unprotected sex, but works best the sooner it is taken.

Pure Pharmacy offers emergency contraception without a prescription, subject to meeting essential medical criteria. This service is available in store on a walk-in basis.
