Australian women have three options for emergency contraception: two types of oral pills (levonorgestrel [LNG]-containing pill and ulipristal acetate [UPA]) and the copper intrauterine device (IUD).

The oral methods have similar side effects, but UPA is more effective than LNG and can be used up to five days after intercourse.
