Can girls 17 and younger take the plan b one step pill? will it cause health problems?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, and no: Yes, young women (younger than 17) can take Plan B and yes it's definitely safe. Plan b is progesterone, a hormone that your ovaries have been making all along. The age of 17 was more of a political cut off originally for the fda, than a physiological one, but definitely safe for women younger than 17. And no, will not harm you at all. May change your cycle around when you take it, but no harm.
