The dispensation of the morning-after pill without prescription has been justified on the grounds of subject sanitary arguments. However, the statements made on topic are biased, and are largely aimed at trivializing the consequences of this hormonal product. This has favored its consumption, which has increased after its liberalization in September 2009. The Morning After Pill (DAP) is an exceptional method for sporadic use.

The tests that have been carried out on its safety are based on a single intake of the product and the effects are unknown when it is used on a regular basis. Likewise, its adverse effects have been relativized and even, in the official information, aspects such as its association to ectopic pregnancies or the training of thrombi have been omitted. Without forgetting that its employment is not recommended for minors under 16 years of age, due to the lack of programs of study on its consequences.

Health authorities have always maintained that the main goal of the measure was to reduce the rate of abortions or unwanted pregnancies. Well, the bibliography published on this product shows that when access to PDD is facilitated, this rate does not decrease, and its consumption increases to the detriment of other more effective and safer contraceptives. Finally, it should be noted that PDD can interfere with the implantation of the human embryo in the uterus, causing its death. For some users this information is important and should be provided. However, the idea has been conveyed that PDD is not abortifacient.
