ALL ABOUT
EMERGENCY CONTRACEPTION:
How It Works, What to Expect, and Why It’s So Effective

MORNING-AFTER PILL VS. COPPER IUD:
Which One Is Right For You?

There are two main types of emergency contraception available in South Africa, the morning-after pill and the Copper IUD. 

Examples: Norlevo®, Ella® (Ulipristal Acetate)

​The morning-after pill temporarily delays ovulation so that no egg is released to be fertilised. It’s most effective the sooner it’s taken, ideally within 72 hours, and up to 5 days for some types.

 

Effectiveness: ~85–98% depending on timing.

​

Available at: Mums & Bums Centurion.

Best for you if:

  • You had unprotected sex within the last few days.

​

  • You can’t (or prefer not to) have an IUD inserted.

​

  • You want a quick, non-invasive option.
