A member asked:
Do i have to take another dose of plan b if i had diarrhea 3 hours after taking it?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Diarrhea 3 hours later does not interfere with the absorption of the pill in the upper digestive tract. That stool represents material on the lower colon, not up inside the small intestine where the pill was absorbed in the first 2 hours.

Agree with Dr. Ferguson. If you do not wish to be pregnant, use contraception all the time, every time. You may consider implanted contraceptive, or IUD. Practice safe sex : https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/health/wellness-and-prevention/safer-sex-guidelines Get HPV vaccine.
