Postcoital Contraception Clinical Trial
Official title:
Emergency Contraception - Observational Study of User's Profile
Retrospective analysis of requests of emergency hormonal contraception using pharmacy protocols registered in 2003 and 2006.
In 2002, Levonorgestrel was introduced in Switzerland for emergency hormonal contraception
(EC) without prescription ('pharmacist only'). In 2003, a first analysis of requests of EC
showed that the dispensing of EC through pharmacies could successfully be implemented (Lemke
et al 2004).
This study was repeated three years later with the aim to explore whether the user's profile
has changed after introduction of a low threshold access to EC.
