A member asked:

If i take the plan b pill 2hrs before sex will it still help prevent pregnancy?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Wrong choice: Plan B is designed to be used when other methods fail for some reason and should not be used on a regular basis. If you know you are going to have sex, you need to plan for a safer more reliable method and should use condoms to decrease the risk of STDs.
