A year ago, the Government approved marketing prescription postcoital pill or the day after, since, according to the Spanish Foundation of contraception, it seems that its sale in pharmacies has doubled, since in the last twelve months have been sold more than half a million units, when in previous years the figure was only 300,000 units.
In fact, apparently in the months of April and July of this year there have been peaks sales showed an increase of between 130% and 190%, spectacular figures, which should also add units that have been dispensed in family planning or health centres.
In any case, for experts these figures fall within normal, and do not represent a massive or abusive demand, and what is more positive: not be reported no serious side effects.
What if you recommend is continue campaigns so people always mind dealing with an emergency contraceptive method, and that it is normal to use other methods as the pill or condoms.
On the other hand, it is awaiting to make public data number of abortions in Spain last year, so far are some autonomous communities which have been filtered data to media indicating that there has been a decrease in the number of abortions, however more conservative or anti abortionists distrust those figures given the unreliable in the way of collecting data from private clinics.
However it is possible that this increase in the use of the postcoital pill influenced somewhat in a decline in the number of unwanted pregnancies, and thus in the number of abortions.In any case, these data are confirmed in the coming months.
