"Double trouble"?: Taking these two pills together will make one of them ineffective due to selective gastric absorption. It will usually be the Plan B that doesn't get absorbed and then it fails to work with a doubling of your person with a child and undesired pregnancy. Separate the two pills by at least 2 hours when taking the Plan B.
