Emergency Hormonal Contraception
The emergency contraceptive pill is most effective if taken as soon as possible after you have had unprotected intercourse, but it can be taken up to 120 hours afterwards. However the sooner the better.

Ayoniza was very patient, informative and my daughter didn’t even realise she had been given the injection.

Great vacation experience. I arrived early and Daisy fitted me in so I didn't have to wait. She was clear and professional throughout. I genuinely didn't feel the needle go in. It was also a relatively large private room, thank you
