Explanation
Emergency contraceptive pills (morning-after pill) include steroid hormone and non-steroid hormone types. Using steroid hormone emergency contraceptives only protects against this instance of unprotected intercourse; there should be no further intercourse in this cycle unless using condoms. Generally, emergency contraceptive pills should be taken orally within 3-5 days after unprotected intercourse.
