Econ Morning After is a medication used by women to help reduce the chance of pregnancy after unprotected sex, like when a contraceptive fails or no birth control was used. It works by preventing or delaying ovulation, which is when the body releases an egg. You should take it as soon as possible, ideally within 72 hours (3 days) after unprotected sex, and if you vomit within 2 hours of taking it, contact a healthcare professional to see if you need to take another dose. It's important not to use this medication if you have ever had an allergic reaction to levonorgestrel. Additionally, it does not protect against sexually transmitted diseases, including HIV/AIDS.
