Oral contraception can be used to prevent pregnancy after unprotected sexual intercourse or if other contraceptive methods used have failed. It is effective when consumed within 5 days of sexual intercourse.

What is a Doctor Home Visit?

How effective is the "morning-after pill"?

The "morning-after pill" (often known as Plan B) has an efficacy of up to 95% and experts recommend consuming it as soon as possible after unprotected sexual intercourse as its effectiveness reduces the longer you wait.

How does the "morning-after pill" work?

"Morning-after pill"/”Plan B”:

  • Delays or stops the egg from being released
  • If there is no egg, the sperm is not able to fertilise anything
  • Thickens cervical mucus which blocks the sperm from meeting the egg
  • Thins uterus lining which prevents a fertilised egg from being embedded in the uterus

How are emergency contraceptives prescribed in Singapore?

In Singapore, you can only get access to emergency contraceptives if you have a prescription from a doctor. However, they are not stocked at every clinic in Singapore and some clinics are not well-versed in managing women’s health.

At Speedoc, not only are our doctors registered with the Ministry of Health (MOH), they are also experienced in women’s health and greatly value our patients’ privacy and understand that discretion is a high priority.

If you require an emergency contraceptive, book an appointment for a teleconsult or a house call doctor via our app.
