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 free emergency contraception from family planning, young people clinics and some hospital Minor Injuries Units, 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.
