Promoting emergency contraception.
The use of available oral contraceptive agents for emergency contraception has been judged safe and effective by the U. S. Food and Drug Administration and other agencies. Yet implementation by physicians has been limited, and only a small percentage of women take advantage of this option each year. Lack of a specially packaged--and marketed--product for this indication has been a major barrier.
