QUESTION: In searching for the perfect method, I have come across some
information about a “morning after” pill to prevent conception
My pharmacist
denies any knowledge of this product, and I am hoping you may have some leads
as to its name and where I can obtain it.

ANSWER: Don’t get down on your pharmacist, he isn’t being difficult
The
Food and Drug Administration has not approved any medication for this purpose,
and none are manufactured or sold for this specific indication
But there are
a number of hormonal and mechanical methods which can be used after the fact
that are apparently very effective in preventing conception
The lowest
pregnancy rates occur by inserting a IUD (Intra Uterine Device) in place
immediately after unprotected intercourse, sometimes a bit difficult to
accomplish
The use of birth control-like estrogen/progesterone hormone
combinations within 12 to 72 hours after intercourse also may be effective
A
single intravenous injection of conjugated estrogens may also be used, and
there are no reports of malformation of the fetus, should one be present if
this hormone treatment fails to act.
