Argentina: New consensus on emergency contraception
March 2026. The Asociación Médica Argentina de Anticoncepción (AMAdA) published a new consensus document on emergency contraception (EC). This provides evidence-based recommendations on the use of regular EC methods (levonorgestrel (LNG) and ulipristal acetate (UPA) EC pills and the copper-bearing intrauterine device (IUD)), and also addresses the use of LNG-releasing IUD for EC.
The document aims to support healthcare professionals in providing informed counseling and improving access to effective EC options, by consolidating current scientific evidence and clinical best practices. Consenso de anticoncepción de emergencia – Manejo práctico de la anticoncepción de emergencia is available for download from AMADA’s website, here.
