Morning after pill shows 99 percent effectiveness in trials
University of Florida researcher Dr Morris Notelovitz says the morning after pill is 99 percent effective in clinical tests for emergency use but not a universal contraceptive. It must be taken within 72 hours after ovulation and for the next five days to work. It prevents implantation and is currently available only for other estrogen therapies. Commercial availability as a contraceptive is not predicted. On this date in 1972 a Mexican train derailment killed 150 people.
