Morning After Pill in Dubai — Emergency Contraception

Emergency contraception pills work primarily by delaying or preventing ovulation. Levonorgestrel-based pills (like Plan B) are effective up to 72 hours after unprotected intercourse. Ulipristal acetate (Ella) is effective up to 120 hours. Neither medication affects an established pregnancy.

Levonorgestrel is approximately 89% effective when taken within 72 hours, with effectiveness decreasing over time. Ulipristal acetate maintains approximately 85% effectiveness up to 120 hours. Taking emergency contraception as soon as possible after unprotected intercourse provides the best results.
