Plan B is a brand name for a type of emergency contraception that contains levonorgestrel. It is commonly known as the morning-after pill and is used to prevent pregnancy after unprotected sexual intercourse or contraceptive failure, such as a condom breaking. Plan B contains a higher dose of levonorgestrel than regular birth control pills, and it works by preventing ovulation or fertilization. It is most effective when taken as soon as possible after unprotected sex but can be used up to 72 hours later.

Plan B is not intended to be used as a primary method of birth control and should only be used in emergencies. It is available over the counter in most places but consult with a healthcare provider if you have any questions or concerns about using Plan B or any other form of contraception.

Plan B emergency contraceptive (Levonorgestrel) is intended for use as a backup method of preventing pregnancy after unprotected sex or contraceptive failure. The tablet is most effective when taken as soon as possible after unprotected sex, however, it can be taken up to 72 hours (3 days) after intercourse. The tablet is a single, progestin-only dose of 0.75 mg of Levonorgestrel.

Here is how to take Plan B Emergency Contraceptive:

  1. Take the tablet as soon as possible after unprotected sex.
  2. Take the entire pill with water. It does not matter if you have eaten or not.
  3. If you vomit within two hours of taking the pill, consult your healthcare provider, as you may need to take another dose.
  4. If you experience vaginal bleeding, consult your healthcare provider as this may not be a side effect but rather a sign that your period has started or may be about to start.

Plan B emergency contraceptive (Levonorgestrel) does not protect against sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and should not be used as a regular form of birth control.
