The Plan B pill works best when you take it within three days after unprotected sex. You can get Plan B at your local drugstore or pharmacy.
A levonorgestrel morning-after pill — like Plan B One Step, Take Action, My Way, Option 2, Preventeza, AfterPill, My Choice, Aftera, and EContra — can lower your chance of getting pregnant by 75-89% if you take it within three days after unprotected sex.
You can take Plan B and other levonorgestrel morning-after pills up to five days after unprotected sex. But sooner is better — the longer you wait to take it, the less effective it is.
These types of morning-after pills may not work if you weigh more than 165 pounds. If that’s the case, the copper IUD or ella are better options for you. Our handy quiz can help you figure out which EC is best for you.
Though there are many different brands of levonorgestrel morning-after pills, they all work the same way. All brands have the same amount of medicine and the same effectiveness, no matter how much they cost.
Take levonorgestrel morning-after pills (like Plan B One-Step, Take Action, My Way, AfterPill, Aftera, and EContra) as soon as you can after unprotected sex. Simply swallow the tablet the way you would any other pill. Read the instructions that come in the package for more information.
You can take these morning-after pills up to five days after unprotected sex, but they work much better if you take them during the first three days.
Take a pregnancy test if you haven’t gotten your period within three weeks after taking the morning-after pill.
Don’t take Plan B One-Step or other levonorgestrel morning-after pills if you’ve taken ella in the last five days.
The morning-after pill is super safe, and Plan B side effects aren’t super common. There have been no reports of serious problems out of the millions of people who’ve taken it.
After you take the morning-after pill, it's totally normal for your next period to be different from what you’re used to. It may come earlier or later, and be heavier, lighter, or more spotty. Or it may be the same as it normally is.
You may get an upset stomach, feel lightheaded or dizzy, or have tender breasts for a short while when you take the morning-after pill. If you throw up within two hours of taking the pill, it won't work and you’ll need to take it again.
You can buy levonorgestrel morning-after pills (like Plan B One-Step, Take Action, My Way, Option 2, Preventeza, AfterPill, My Choice, Aftera, and EContra) over the counter without a prescription at drugstores and pharmacies. It doesn’t matter how old you are and it doesn’t matter what your gender is. Sometimes the morning-after pill is locked up or kept behind the counter, so you may have to ask the pharmacist or store clerk for help getting it — but you don’t have to have a prescription or show your ID.
You can also get the morning-after pill at many family planning or health department clinics, and Planned Parenthood health centers .
Plan B One-Step usually costs about $40-$50. Generics like Take Action, My Way, Option 2, Preventeza, My Choice, Aftera, and EContra generally cost less — about $11-$45. You can also order a generic brand called AfterPill online for $20 + $5 shipping. (AfterPill can’t be shipped quick enough to use if you need a morning-after pill right now, but you can buy it and put it in your medicine cabinet in case you need it in the future.)
The brand of EC you buy or how much you pay for it doesn’t matter — all brand-name and generic levonorgestrel morning-after pills work just as well.
