Specializes in Obstetrics and Gynecology

Plan B easier: You can use Sprintec but it causes a lot of nausea and you have to take a lot of pills. You can just take Plan B once and get a better result with less side effects. It is available over the counter. Plan B if intercourse was within 72 hours to decrease the risk of unplanned pregnancy.
