- Abstract
The article focuses on the use of emergency contraceptives in Great Britain and the Netherlands. Contraceptive drugs have been used in Great Britain and the Netherlands since 1974 and 1964, respectively. The Committee on Safety of Medicines of Great Britain, found that the use of emergency contraception was safe. These were found to be used increasingly in Great Britain but very rarely in the Netherlands. General practitioners were the major source of emergency and oral contraceptives in both these places. In Great Britain, all contraceptives were offered free of cost to the patients, while its cost to a Dutch woman was determined by the type of health insurance that covers her.
