In the U.S., medical emergency contraception usually consists of levonorgestrel within 72 hours after unprotected intercourse. The selective progestin-receptor modulator ulipristal recently was licensed in Europe for emergency contraception within 120 hours after unprotected intercourse.

In 2014, Health Canada issued a warning that levonorgestrel might not be as effective for individuals weighing more than 165 pounds. The role of the factors modifying the effectiveness of emergency contraception are important. This review aims to compare the effectiveness of levonorgestrel and ulipristal for emergency contraception based on the latest evidence.

This is an increased window of
treatment opportunity compared to
levonorgestrel, the only other dedicated
oral emergency contraceptive, which
is registered for use within three days
(72 hours) of intercourse. Despite more
than a decade of non-prescription
availability of levonorgestrel,
emergency contraception is currently
underutilised in Australia and
elsewhere in the world

OBJECTIVE:To provide reference for the standardization of the instruction of levonorgestrel emergency contraception. METHODS:Instruction of levonorgestrel emergency contraception in the market was compared with the national regulations and foreign instruction of the same kind of productions in order to discover the problems in domestic specification. RESULTS:The major problems of domestic instruction of levonorgestrel emergency contraception included instructions without population limits, unclear frequency and interval of drug use,without attention to ADR of levonorgestrel emergency contraception,lack of pharmacy research data. CONCLUSIONS:The problems existing in domestic instruction of levonorgestrel emergency contraception are shortage of items and warnings of drug safety.

Emergency contraception (EC) prevents pregnancy. Four regimens are available in different parts of the world, a combination of ethinyl estradiol and levonorgestrel, levonorgestrel alone, mifepristone, and emergency insertion of an intrauterine device. All the regimens are also used either as long-term contraception or, in the case of mifepristone, as an abortifacient, and considerable data indicate their safety when used in these ways. Data on safety when the regimens are used as EC are lacking, but theoretically, and from practical experience, all appear to be extremely safe, particularly when compared to the risks of pregnancy. There has been a tendency to over-"medicalize" EC. Prescribing EC is simple. Consideration should be given to making EC available off prescription because it is so safe.
