Question

I’ve heard the IUD can be used as emergency contraception. Is this right?


Answer

The copper IUD (intrauterine contraceptive device) can sometimes be used as an emergency contraceptive if it is a suitable method for the woman concerned. Call us on Healthline 1300 658 886 if you would like more information about this.
