Morning after pill
Morning after pill also known as an emergency contraceptive pill is an
emergency birth control measure. The pill is needed generally when you have had an unprotected intercourse or your contraceptive measure failed during the intercourse. Pill is also taken during incidents like rape, to prevent pregnancy. Morning after pill should generally be taken within 72 hours of intercourse; there are also pills that can be taken up to 120 hours after the intercourse. It is advised that the pill should be taken as early as possible, if possible within 12 hours after the intercourse to increase the chances of success.
How will they work?
There are three varieties of morning after pills available in the market. Pills using progesterone alone, pills using estrogen alone and pills using a mixture of both are the three varieties of morning after pills currently available. These are the same hormones which are used in birth control pills, here though they are in a more concentrated form. The morning after pill generally works in three ways. First, by preventing the ovaries from releasing an egg. Second, by altering the outer covering of the egg that a sperm cannot penetrate it and third by altering the lining of a womb so that a fertilized egg cannot attach to the uterus.

Where can I get it from?
There are two types of pills available in the market. One which are available as an over the counter drug and the other which are available only as prescription drug. You can buy the over the counter version from any local pharmacy, the pharmacist will ask you some questions to ascertain whether the pill is suitable for you or not. The prescription version is also available at the pharmacist, but to obtain it, you would have to secure a prescription from a practicing doctor. You can also secure the prescription from the site which carries out a confidential consultation procedure.
Mornings after pills are also available on the internet. It is advised that you undergo proper medical examination before taking the morning after pill because there is always a risk of a negative reaction.
Religious issues
Many religions around the world believe that altering with the normal method of pregnancy is a sin and such an act should not be done. It is also believed that by taking the pill, you are going for artificial abortion. However, this is not true, as the pill prevents fertilization and does not terminate pregnancy.
