The morning-after pill is an emergency contraceptive method, used only when the usual contraceptive method fails or is missed. It may be composed of levonorgestrel or ulipristal acetate, which works by delaying or inhibiting ovulation. Levonorgestrel-containing pills may be used within 3 days after intimate contact and ulipristal acetate-containing pills may be used up to 5 days after unprotected intercourse, however, their efficacy decreases as the days go by and so they should be taken as soon as possible
