were do they sell the morning after pill?

Question

and what are the risks? how i buy it? can i take it after 3 days of having unprotected sex.. btw i am over 18..so no lecture!!

Answer 1

Just go to a boots pharmacy and ask for the morning after pill. It usually is Levonelle. They will ask you some personal questions, and it usually is just one pill in the box and costs about £25.

It is most effective if taken within 24 hours but must be taken within 72 hour max. I hope you are within this 72 hours.

Good luck my dear.

Answer 2

actually you wont be killing a baby if you take the morning after pill , the sperm takes a few days to get to an egg it has a lot of travelling to do,that is why the later you leave it the less chance you have of it working, the morning after pill stops the egg from getting fertilized, dont feel guilty you are being responsible, anyway most chemists sell it but you wont be able to buy it without having an interview with the pharmacist

Answer 3

You can buy the morning after pill from chemists and also from family planning clinics. (Most family planning clinic that do this will give them to you for free) The risks are always outlined in the infomation you get with them and you can take the pill up to 72 hours after having unprotected sex.

A heath department or a planned parenthood might be able to help you.

Emergency contraception is birth control that prevents pregnancy after sex, which is why it is sometimes called "the morning after pill," "the day after pill," or "morning after contraception." You can use emergency contraception right away ­ or up to five days after sex ­ if you think your birth control failed, you didn't use contraception, or you were forced to have sex.

Emergency contraception makes it much less likely you will get pregnant. But emergency contraceptives are not as effective as birth control that's used before or during sex, like the pill or condoms. So if you are sexually active or planning to be, don't use emergency contraception as your only protection against pregnancy. Also, emergency contraception does not protect against sexually transmitted infections, like HIV (only condoms do).

You might find yourself feeling queasy and some women throw up after taking emergency contraceptive pills. You might also get a headache, feel tired or dizzy, have some lower abdominal pain, or find your breasts are more tender than usual. If you do feel this way, it should stop within a day or two. Some women also find that the female hormones in the pills (either progestin alone or a combination of progestin and estrogen) cause unexpected bleeding; this is not dangerous and should clear up by the time you have your next period. The pills might also cause your next period to come early or late. (For more information about how emergency contraception might affect your monthly cycle, click here).


One large study by the World Health Organization looked at the side effects from the two types of emergency contraceptive pills. About one in four (23%) women who use Plan B or other progestin-only emergency contraceptive pills feels sick to her stomach. A very small proportion of women (6%, or about one in 17) throw up after taking these pills. Nausea and vomiting are more common after taking “combined” emergency contraceptive pills: Roughly half (51%) of all women feel sick to their stomachs and about one in 4 (23%) throw up. To prevent nausea and vomiting, you can take the non-prescription anti-nausea medicine meclizine (also sold under the brand names Dramamine II or Bonine). Research shows that taking two 25 mg tablets 1 hour before using combined emergency contraceptive pills reduces the risk of nausea by 27% and vomiting by 64%, but this drug doubles your chances of feeling drowsy (to about 30%). If you happen to throw up within 1 hour of taking a dose of either type of emergency contraceptive pills, some health care providers recommend repeating that dose just in case your body didn’t have a chance to absorb all of the hormones in the medication.

Answer 5

most chemists sell them, but it should be taken within 72hrs.
you do not need a lecture like you say you are over 18 and trying to do the right thing

Answer 6

You need a prescription for it. You can call your doctor and get a prescription without being seen. My doctors give it away for free if you have a prescription. However, you have waited too long. The morning after pill needs to be taken within 48 hours. 3 days is waaay too long. Next time get the prescription beforehand and have it waiting just in case.

Answer 7

- they sell it at pharmacies
- there are many risks, including death, please contact your dr for a full list of side effects
- you need to first get a prescription from your dr.
- it can be taken up to 5 days after having unprotected sex

Answer 8

What if you created a baby during sex, and you want to get the morning after pill. You do realise your KILLING an inocent child.

There are people out there who can't have kids, so don't be such and ignorant cow. If you don't want kids, then be careful!

Answer 9

You can not buy it, it needs to be prescribed by a doctor that checks you out first.
