EMERGENCY CONTRACEPTION
Don’t Panic! If you’ve had sex without using contraception or think your contraception hasn’t worked, emergency hormonal contraception (the ‘morning after pill’) can usually prevent pregnancy if taken within 72 hours (3 days) of having sex. It is more effective if started within the first 24 hours. For more info on what emergency contraception is click here.

Participating Pharmacists in Enfield and Haringey
All of the pharmacies on this page can provide you with free emergency hormonal contraception pills. Look for the silver sticker in the pharmacy window. This service is free and confidential for all young people aged 18 and under.

There is a member of staff in each of these pharmacies who has been specially trained to provide emergency contraception pills – it’s a good idea to ring before you go to check that someone is there who can help you, or who can advise you of the nearest clinic.

REMEMBER - Emergency Hormonal Contraception does not provide you with the same level of protection against pregnancy as other forms of contraception and it doesn't protect you from sexually transmitted infections.
