Emergency Contraception Cost in Korea
Emergency contraception is a safe and effective option for preventing pregnancy after unprotected sexual intercourse or birth control failure. Because effectiveness decreases over time, it is important to seek medical care as soon as possible.
At Seomyeon Glory Women's Clinic, we provide confidential English-speaking consultations, emergency contraception prescriptions, and personalized contraceptive counseling for international patients visiting or living in Korea.
How Much Does Emergency Contraception Cost in Korea?
The total cost generally includes the doctor's consultation and the medication.
Typical private clinic prices include:
- Doctor consultation: ₩50,000–₩100,000
- Emergency contraceptive pill: ₩20,000–₩50,000
- Total cost (consultation + medication): ₩70,000–₩150,000
- Emergency room visits (after hours): additional charges may apply.
The final cost depends on the clinic, consultation, and the medication prescribed.
How Does Emergency Contraception Work?
Emergency contraception works primarily by:
- Delaying or preventing ovulation
- Reducing the chance of fertilization before pregnancy occurs
It does not terminate an existing pregnancy and is not the same as an abortion pill.
When Should I Take the Morning-After Pill?
The morning-after pill should be taken as soon as possible after:
- Unprotected sexual intercourse
- Condom breakage
- Missed birth control pills
- Contraceptive failure
Levonorgestrel emergency contraception is most effective within 72 hours, although it may still have some effectiveness up to 120 hours (5 days) after intercourse.
