Plan B One-Step – Levonorgestrel Emergency Contraceptive

Plan B One-Step is an over-the-counter emergency contraceptive containing 1.5mg of Levonorgestrel, a progestin hormone that helps prevent pregnancy after unprotected sex or a known contraceptive failure, such as a broken condom. It works primarily by stopping or delaying ovulation.

For best results, Plan B should be taken as soon as possible within 72 hours (3 days) after unprotected intercourse. The sooner it’s taken, the more effective it is. Plan B is not intended to be used as a regular form of birth control and will not terminate an existing pregnancy.

Plan B One-Step is a safe and effective option for most women and does not impact future fertility. It is widely recommended by healthcare professionals and has been FDA-approved for use without a prescription for individuals of all reproductive ages.
