A member asked:

If i have sex and i take the plan b the same night i had sex instead of waiting 72 hours like it say would it prevent pregnancy?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Should work well: In general most of these products work well if taken within 72 hrs. You don't need to wait 72 hrs to take it.
