A member asked:
Do you promise that the morning after pill, plan b, is very effective? i'm really worried.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Just the data: No one can promise but rather we can relay the clinical data. Plan B when used appropriately within 72 hours of unprotected intercourse decreases the risk of pregnancy by about 70%. It should be a back up plan. Going forward use condoms and start a better form of birth control
