Introduction: The frequent use of emergency contraceptives in women of childbearing age can generate unwanted side effects, which raises the need to evaluate their consumption and consequences. Objective: To analyze the relationship between the use of emergency contraception and side effects in women of childbearing age who attend an apothecary in Callao in the year 2025. Methods: Quantitative approach study, hypothetical-deductive method, non experimental and cross-sectional design. The population was made up of 350 women, with a probabilistic sample of 183 participants. A validated questionnaire was applied, with reliability α=0.889, and the data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics (Spearman's Rho test, α=0.05). Results: The results showed that 38.3% of women used emergency contraception once in the last year and 8.2% more than five times, with unprotected sex being the main reason (45.4%). 30.6% reported menstrual alterations, while gastrointestinal symptoms were less frequent (nausea 2.7% and vomiting 1.6%). Likewise, 3.8% reported persistent mood swings. In the inferential analysis, a very high and significant relationship was found between the use of emergency contraception and side effects (r=0.901; p=0.000), as well as between frequent use and reasons for consumption with such effects (r=0.821; p=0.002), and between low knowledge/access and the incidence of side effects (r=0.911; p=0.000).). Conclusion: The use of emergency contraception in women in Callao (2025) is significantly related to the appearance of side effects, mainly mild menstrual, gastrointestinal, and emotional alterations.
