Emergency Contraception
If you have had unprotected sex or your contraception has failed during sex, you are at risk of pregnancy. Emergency contraception can be taken up to 72 hours after sex, but it works better the sooner you take it.
You can get emergency contraception from family planning & young people clinics, however we run a scheme where pharmacists across Kent can give you emergency contraception free of charge if you are under 20, see below for pharmacies on our list.
Please note: It is the pharmacist who is in the scheme and therefore it may be best to contact the pharmacy to check he/she is on duty before you go there.
There are currnetly no pharmacies in the scheme for Cranbrook, see below for the Maidstone and Ashford areas.
