Any-way the problem, it is clear that the challenge assumed influence the consideration of the morning after pill as a contracep-tive or abortifacient likewise, determine the conditions required for its entry into the market, and also impact the ethical evalu-ation pharmacist's work in this area. In or-der to be classified the different "morning after pills" and their mechanisms of action, This part is essential to understand the mo-tivation that has led to the pharmacist to be an issue of conscience before dispensing. Wherefore were conducted literature re-views that said the effect of the morning af-ter pill has antiimplantatoria action.
