Emergency Contraception questions
How soon do I need emergency contraception?
As soon as possible. Pills can be used up to 72 or 120 hours after unprotected sex depending on the type, but they work better the earlier they are taken.
Do I need a prescription in Korea?
Yes. Emergency contraceptive pills require a doctor's prescription in Korea.
Can I use it more than once?
Yes, but it is less reliable than regular contraception. The doctor can help you choose a long-term method.
Should I get an STD test too?
If you are unsure of a partner's status, testing is a good idea. Some infections are best tested 1–2 weeks after exposure.
What if I am already pregnant?
Emergency contraception does not end an existing pregnancy. If your period is late, take a pregnancy test.
