The decision to administer emergency contraception is preceded by an interview with the student, whether she is a minor or an adult.
The purpose of this interview is to enable the nurse to assess whether the student’s situation corresponds to the cases of emergency mentioned in the third paragraph of I of article L. 5134-1. The medicinal product is administered in accordance with the conditions of use laid down in the marketing authorisation.
On each occasion, the student is informed that emergency contraception is not a regular method of contraception and that it may not be effective in all cases. The student is also informed that this medication cannot be administered repeatedly and that its use cannot be trivialised.
When the indications for the medication no longer allow emergency contraception to be administered, the student is referred to a family planning or education centre, a health establishment or a general practitioner or gynaecologist in the event of delayed menstruation.
