Plan B is emergency contraception.
Plan B can reduce your chance of pregnancy after unprotected sex. Plan B (the morning after pill) can be taken if you were using a condom and it broke, if you forgot to take 2 or more of your birth control pills this month, or if you were sexually assaulted. It is important to know that Plan B is not RU-486 (the abortion pill). Because Plan B is used to prevent pregnancy, it will not work if you are already pregnant, and it will not affect an existing pregnancy. Plan B is FDA approved — it contains the hormone levonorgestrel, the same ingredient found in many birth control pills. The difference is that Plan B contains a larger dose of levonorgestrel than the amount found in a single birth control pill. And, unlike many birth control pills, Plan B does not contain any estrogen. It is important to that to remember that you have only a few days to prevent a pregnancy after unprotected sex. If it is taken within 3 days after unprotected sex, it will decrease the chance that you will get pregnant by 89%. That means 7 out of every 8 women who would have gotten pregnant will not get pregnant. It is important to keep Plan B on hand as as unprotected sex can happen at any time and depending on the time, your healthcare professional’s office may be closed, such as over a weekend. Getting Plan B in advance means that it will be there for you — in time — if you ever need it. Menstrual bleeding may be heavier or lighter, earlier or later after taking Plan B. If your period is more than a week late, pregnancy should be considered. PLAN B SIDE EFFECTS: Common side effects associated with the use of Plan B include nausea, abdominal pain, tiredness, headache, menstrual changes, dizziness, breast tenderness, and vomiting. You can get Plan B without a prescription from our Canadian pharmacy. How to take Plan B tablets: 1. Take the first tablet as soon as possible within 3 days (72 hours) after unprotected sex. 2. Take the second tablet 12 hours after you take the first tablet. When you take Plan B as directed, you reduce your risk for pregnancy by up to 89%. And the sooner you take it, the more effective it is. When used as directed, Plan B is safe for most women. There have been no serious complications associated with Plan B. Some women will experience non-serious side effects, such as nausea, abdominal pain, tiredness, headache, dizziness, or breast tenderness. These are similar to the side effects of regular birth control pills. Please remember that if you vomit within 1 hour of taking a Plan B tablet, call your local healthcare professional to see if you need to repeat the dose. Do not use Plan B (the morning after pill): -If you are already pregnant, because Plan B will not work -If you are allergic to levonorgestrel or any of the ingredients in Plan B -If you have abnormal vaginal bleeding that has not been evaluated by a healthcare professional -In place of regular birth control Plan B will not affect an existing pregnancy. Plan B works like a birth control pill. It prevents pregnancy mainly by stopping the release of an egg from the ovary, and may also prevent the fertilization of an egg (the uniting of sperm with the egg). Plan B may also work by preventing it from attaching to the uterus (womb). Plan B® will not affect a fertilized egg already attached to the uterus; it will not affect an existing pregnancy. There is no medical evidence that Plan B would affect an existing pregnancy. If you take Plan B accidentally after you are already pregnant, or if it does not work and you become pregnant, it is not likely to cause any harm to you or your pregnancy. Plan B is not a substitute for everyday birth control and it does not protect you from HIV infection (the virus that causes AIDS) and any other sexually transmitted disease (STD). Keeping Plan B in stock can help address some of the following challenges: Unprotected sex can occur when healthcare offices are closed, such as over a weekend, which can restrict the amount of time women have to obtain and take Plan B. According to the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG), studies show that women have difficulty gaining access to emergency contraception in time for it to be effective because they sometimes cannot locate a pharmacy that stocks emergency contraception.5 Plan B has a long shelf life; it has an expiration date of 48 months from the date of manufacture.
