Hi,

As I see that you are from T&T, the only over the counter Emergency contraceptive that is available in Trinidad and Tobago is Postinor. It can be a single pill or two dose pill. Read the instruction before use. Postinor 2 SD (single dose) is a single where as Postinor 2 needs two pills within 120 hours. However we instruct the pill to be taken as early as possible for effective contraception.

The chemist at the pharmacy can guide you with the alternate names.

Hope this helps.
