Update on Contraception (2): Use In Specific Populations
Women should be informed that oral emergency contraceptives delay ovulation, however ovulation may still occur in the same cycle; there may be a risk of pregnancy from future unprotected sexual intercourse in that cycle
Drug interactions should always be considered when prescribing hormonal contraceptives due to the potential risk of contraceptive failure or other adverse effects
Progestogen-only contraceptives are the hormonal contraceptives of choice in breastfeeding women
The UK Faculty of Sexual and Reproductive Healthcare (FSRH) website has a number of useful guidance documents on contraception for specific populations
