More than 80% of unwanted pregnancies are prevented by the use of emergency contraceptive pills, more commonly known as morning after pills. These pills can be taken after unprotected sexual intercourse to prevent an unwanted pregnancy. These pills are very different from abortion pills. These pills do not harm the foetus in any way. The best way to prevent pregnancy is abstinence from sex.

There are various types of morning after pills including ellaOne and Levonelle. Both of them are trusted by millions of women and are very effective in results. They are the most commonly prescribed pills in the UK and have gained reputation in the last decade for being very effective.

These pills come handy when other forms of contraception fail such as condom breakage and also at times when contraception is not used. It should not be used regularly or else you might suffer from severe side effects. You should only use these during emergencies.

The main difference between these pills is that ellaOne can help you even after 5 days of unprotected sexual intercourse, while you can take Levonelle only up to 3 days after unprotected intercourse.

- Levonelle works for up to 72 hours and ellaOne works up to 120 hours after unprotected sex or failure of any other contraceptive method.

- Levonelle is effective if taken in the first day and after that it prevents around 84% of pregnancies. It gives the best results if taken within the first 12 hours of unprotected sexual intercourse.

- ellaOne works up to 120 hours after unprotected sexual intercourse with a success rate of 98%. If any side effect such as vomiting occurs within three hours of taking this pill, you should consult a doctor immediately.

Keeping these points in mind you can decide which of these two pills is good for you.
