About this document
Postcoital Contraception by Ishak Ansar is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The document discusses options for postcoital or emergency contraception, including the levonorgestrel emergency contraceptive pill, copper intrauterine devices (IUDs), and ulipristal acetate. The levonorgestrel pill prevents pregnancy primarily by inhibiting ovulation, while copper IUDs work by inhibiting fertilization and implantation. Ulipristal acetate acts mainly by inhibiting ovulation but may also impair implantation. The copper IUD is the most effective emergency contraception method.
