Question

A woman with a known allergy to copper requests emergency contraception. She declines oral EC. What should she be advised?

Accepted Answer

Copper allergy is extremely rare and does not necessarily preclude Cu-IUD use; the evidence for a true copper IUD allergy is very limited, and she should be counselled accordingly

Answer

No EC is available if she declines oral methods

Answer

She should use the Yuzpe regimen instead

Answer

A 52 mg LNG-IUS can be used for emergency contraception instead of a Cu-IUD

Answer

Give her both LNG-EC and UPA-EC simultaneously
