post-coital contraception

In medicine, contraception used to prevent conception after intercourse has taken place.

Hormonal contraceptives (‘morning-after pills’) containing a high dose of an oestrogen and a progestogen are effective if they are taken within three days of unprotected intercourse. Insertion of an intrauterine device (IUD) is more effective than hormonal post-coital contraceptives. It can be inserted up to five days after unprotected intercourse has taken place.
