I’ve learned something new today. According to Princeton University’s The Emergency Contraception Website, some brands of birth control pills can be used as the morning after pill if you increase the daily dosage. Above is a table of the supported brands (2 of which are generics I’ve taken). This can prove very helpful information if you’re stranded and can’t get to the pharmacy for the regular EC. I don’t know their rate of effectiveness, but with EC, the sooner you take the pills, the better.
