A member asked:

Is there a weight limit on plan b? will it still work if i am over 200 pounds?

Dr. Nicholas Nomicos answered

Specializes in General Practice

Yes: There is confusion on this due to a study which suggested heavier women (over 165 lb) had higher failure rates with Plan B and led to changes in labeling in Europe. Further studies led to the labeling being changed back. Bottom line, while it is not 100% it is highly effective for all women.
