What's the pill after?
The pill after that is an emergency contraceptive which can be taken after unprotected intercourse or during failure of regular contraception to prevent unwanted pregnancy. It is not a regular contraception method, but an emergency solution for exceptional situations.
In Germany, the pill is then available in pharmacies without prescription since 2015. It can be purchased directly in the pharmacy without a prescription. The pharmacist or the pharmacist conducts a brief consultation to ensure that taking is sensible and safe.
There are two different active ingredients: Levonorgestrel (e.g. PiDaNa) and Ulipristal acetate (ellaOne). Both delay or prevent ovulation, but differ in their time window and their properties.
