A member asked:

Can i take norethindrone as a morning after pill?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

EC: A search of the databases for alternative morning after pills yields no information on Norethindrone as a morning after pill. Since Plan B is available to you over the counter in the us, i would suggest using plan b. The sooner you take it after unprotected intercourse the higher the effectiveness.
