EMERGENCY CONTRACEPTION
Emergency contraceptive known as "the morning-after pill," offer an important safeguard against unintended pregnancies. In Hungary, these medications can only be dispensed with a medical prescription; they are prescription-only products.
The Effectiveness of Emergency Contraceptives
Emergency contraceptives can be effective up to 120 hours after unprotected intercourse. This extended timeframe ensures that even if some time has passed since the event, these pills can still offer protection against pregnancy. It's important to note that the only factor that decreases their efficacy is the time that has elapsed since the event. Therefore, it's crucial not to delay taking the pill.
When to Consider Using Emergency Contraceptives?
Emergency contraceptives are recommended in various scenarios, including:
-
When a partner's condom breaks or slips off
-
If no condom was used during intercourse
-
When withdrawal (pull-out) method fails
-
If regular birth control pills were missed
-
When vomiting or diarrhea affects pill absorption
-
Incorrect use of a vaginal ring (not in place for more than 3 hours or used for over 4 weeks).
Key Information about Emergency Contraceptives

The Importance of Time: The effectiveness of these pills decreases with time, so it's recommended to take them as soon as possible after unprotected intercourse.
