Emergency contraception is not a substitute for other contraceptive methods. It is to be used only when there is an episode of unprotected sex, or there is potential contraceptive failure.
EMERGENCY contraception (EC) provides women with a safe method of preventing pregnancy if there has been sexual intercourse without any contraceptive use or if there is potential contraceptive failure, eg burst, split, or dislodged condom, missed contraceptive pills, or expulsion of an intra-uterine contraceptive device (IUCD).
