Question

Answer 1

Agree w Dr. Collins: No absolute contraindications. Plan B One-Step is up to 89 % effective when taken within 72 hours (3 days) after unprotected sex. It can reduce chance of pregnancy by up to 95% if used within 24 hours. It continues to reduce the risk of pregnancy up to 120 hours (5 days) after unprotected sex, but is less effective as time passes.

Answer 2

Yes: Plan b is safe and effective - it works over 85% of the time if used within 72 hours (3 days) of unprotected sex and about 80% if used within 120 hours (5 days). There are few complications, but there are side effects occasionally, like nausea and headache.

Answer 3

Yes: But is does have potential side effects. Potential side effects w emergency contraception include: menstrual flow changes (spotting, bleeding, early or late period), nausea, vomiting, dizziness, fatigue, headache, breast tenderness & abdominal pain or cramps. Take pregnancy test & notify dr if your period is 7 or > days late.

Answer 4

Just take the 1 pill: Soon after unprotected sex, take the 1 pill. Do not use this as the method of birth control - it is only for emergency in case of an oopsy! try to use condoms or birth control pills or iud or injectables etc.

Answer 5

Take it as soon: as possible after the episode of failed contraception. Plan B One-Step is up to 89 % effective when taken within 72 hours (3 days) after unprotected sex. It can reduce chance of pregnancy by up to 95% if used within 24 hours. It continues to reduce the risk of pregnancy up to 120 hours (5 days) after unprotected sex, but is less effective as time passes.

Answer 6

It is far better: to use a consistent form of birth control than to use emergency contraception repeatedly.

Answer 7

As soon as possible: If you do not want to get pregnant, take it as soon as possible after unprotected sex but definitely within 3days or is useless.

Answer 8

Don't wait: Plan B One-Step is up to 89 % effective when taken within 72 hours (3 days) after unprotected sex. It can reduce chance of pregnancy by up to 95% if used within 24 hours. It continues to reduce the risk of pregnancy up to 120 hours (5 days) after unprotected sex, but is less effective as time passes.

Answer 9

Drug interactions.: Per Drugs.Com - there are 249 drugs than may interact with Plan B, 39 are potentially major interactions. REF: https://www.drugs.com/drug-interactions/levonorgestrel,plan-b.html However, that does not necessarily mean that Plan B can't be used in conjunction with some of those meds. Check the list & then talk with your pharmacist.
