How does a morning-after pill work?

There are two main types of morning-after pills, or emergency contraceptive pills – Levonelle and ellaOne.

They both work in the same way by helping to prevent or delay the release of an egg from your ovary – a process called ovulation. But the times at which they need to be taken vary:

• Levonelle has to be taken within three days or 72 hours after you’ve had unprotected sex.
• ellaOne has to be taken within five days, or 120 hours, after unprotected sex.

Are there any side effects of taking the morning-after pill?

As is the case when taking any form of medication, sometimes some people experience side effects.

Common side effects:

• feeling sick
• feeling tired
• having irregular patterns of bleeding before your next period

You’re more likely to have side effects if you’re:
