Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Emergency contraception refers specifically to progestin pills, commonly known as "morning after" pills. They are intended to prevent pregnancy after unprotected sex or contraceptive failure and should be taken as soon as possible after intercourse, ideally within 72 hours but may still be effective up to five days later. They are not a substitute for regular birth control methods.
