- Are you currently using any regular contraception?
- Have you vomited in the last 3 hours or do you have severe diarrhoea?
- Do you take any of: carbamazepine, phenytoin, rifampicin, St John's Wort, or HIV medicines?
- Do you have severe asthma treated with oral steroid tablets?

When we'll say no
These answers stop the request and route you to a consultation instead.
- Beyond 120 hours the morning after pill is not effective — you need a consultation about a copper coil.
- These reduce the effect of emergency contraception — you need a consultation.
- A possible existing pregnancy needs assessment before emergency contraception.
- This could be an ectopic pregnancy — seek urgent medical care.
