This session details the different methods of emergency contraception (EC), including their indications and use. It explores the effectiveness of each method as well as how to advise women when to take a pregnancy test. It addresses the advantages and disadvantages of each method and provides guidance around conducting an effective consultation with a woman requiring emergency contraception.

  • 4.3 Advise women when to take a pregnancy test post-emergency contraception
  • 4.4 List the advantages and disadvantages of each method of emergency contraception
