چکیده
©FFPRHC J Fam Plann Reprod Health Care 2007: 33(3) Background In this Commentary we review recent research about the mechanism of action of levonorgestrel emergency contraceptive pills (ECPs) and the population impact of emergency contraception (EC), and we examine the downside of making ECPs available directly from a pharmacist or other non-specialist provider without a prescription. We argue that better information-giving about EC is needed and that it is essential that emergency intrauterine device (IUD) insertion services are enhanced (Box 1).
