Hello there. i took plan b at 9:40 this morning and had diarrhea at 11:55. should i retake the dose?

Likely not needed. : That episode of diarrhea likely would not have contributed to your not absorbing the plan B.

A.W Dr Giannone: Loose stools can be a side effect of Plan B. This would not have prevented absorption of the medication.
