	Emergency contraception - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Emergency contraceptive pill —referred to simply as "emergency contraception," "ECPs," or "ECs", or "morning-after pill" —are hormones that act both to prevent ovulation or fertilization, or the subsequent implantation of a fertilised egg (zygote).
		In this respect, emergency contraceptive pills work by triggering the same hormonal changes in the body as regular birth control pills or even breastfeeding —but they require much higher doses and are less effective than ongoing hormonal contraceptives.
		The morning-after pill should not be confused with mifepristone (also called Mifeprex, and formerly known as RU-486), an abortifacient which is taken to end a pregnancy after implantation has occurred.
