A member asked:

I had sex last night and didn't use a condom but am on week 4 of my birth control. will plan b work especially since i am on accutane?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Birth Control pills: Your birth control pills are 99% effective in preventing pregnancy. This is true even during the week that you don't take the pill if you are on 21 day packs instead of the 28 day pack. Plan B isn't necessary. Condom use in this scenario is primarily to prevent STD transmission.
