A morning-after pill that can be taken up to five days after unprotected sex is now available in Irish pharmacies without a prescription.
The ellaOne contraceptive pill has been described as the most effective emergency contraceptive on the market.
Until now, the only options available to women over-the-counter were morning after pills that need to be taken within three days of sex to be effective.
It’s believed the ellaOne morning-after pill will be sold at pharmacies for around €35.
