EC PILL TYPES AND COUNTRIES OF AVAILABILITY, BY BRAND EC Status and Availability EC pill types and countries of availability, by brand. There are three types of dedicated EC pills: levonorgestrel (progestin-only), ulipristal acetate, and low-dose

mifepristone.

HOW EC PILLS WORK

How EC Pills Work. Emergency contraceptive pills (ECPs) work before pregnancy. They must be taken as soon as possible after unprotected sex, and are recommended to be taken within 3-5 days. They are not effective after this time. They work by preventing the release of an egg (ovulation) or by stopping the egg and sperm from meeting. COUNTRIES WITH NON-PRESCRIPTION ACCESS TO EC International Consortium (ICEC) promotes access to emergency contraception, sometimes called the 'morning after pill,' focused on developing countries. EMERGENCY CONTRACEPTION: CATHOLICS IN FAVOR, BISHOPS This paper, co-authored by ICEC and Catholics for Choice, details how Catholic bishops continue to oppose access to emergency contraception (EC) and lead opposition efforts, going against the beliefs of the majority of their constituents. In the United States and around the world, the church hierarchy has opposed EC access through public statements, involvement in legal cases, and threats to REVOKE 1.5 - INTERNATIONAL CONSORTIUM FOR EMERGENCY Revoke 1.5 *.

GENERAL INFORMATION

General Information. The term “emergency contraception” refers to several contraceptive methods that can be used to prevent pregnancy after sex. These methods include several kinds of Emergency Contraceptive Pills (ECPs) as well as insertion of an intrauterine device (IUD). They offer women an important second chance to prevent

pregnancy

PILL FORMULATIONS

Emergency contraception can prevent pregnancy up to 5 days after sex. Note: Many progestin-only (levonorgestrel) brands of EC pills contain two pills, with instructions to take the second pill 12 hours after the first. However, research has found that levonorgestrel-only EC pills are more effective the sooner they are taken and can safely be taken as a single dose. EMERGENCY CONTRACEPTION FOR CRISIS SETTINGS: KEY RESOURCES This document highlights resources – including websites, technical guidelines, and articles – that provide information on the provision of EC in crisis-settings, including for refugee and internally displaced persons (IDP) populations.Read More PUBLICATIONS ARCHIVE 2018.

WELCOME TO ICEC

THE INTERNATIONAL CONSORTIUM ON EMERGENCY CONTRACEPTION In 1996, the year ICEC was founded, only a handful of countries had a “dedicated” Emergency Contraception (EC) product on the market. Now women in over 140 countries can buy emergency contraception – sometimes known as the _morning after pill_ – and in 60 countries, EC is readily available over the counter. ICEC and its member organizations  have played a key role in introducing EC in a wide range of settings. Still, women’s access to EC is far from assured, and our mission remains critical: to expand access to EC worldwide, with a focus on developing countries.
