What Is Next Choice?
Next Choice (levonorgestrel 0.75 mg) is a prescription-strength emergency contraceptive used to reduce the risk of pregnancy after unprotected intercourse or contraceptive failure. It works primarily by delaying or inhibiting ovulation, and may also prevent fertilization. When taken as directed within 72 hours of unprotected sex, Next Choice is most effective the sooner it is used, and a licensed physician can help confirm it is appropriate for your situation.

Is Online Next Choice Treatment Right for You?
Next Choice may be appropriate for individuals who have had unprotected intercourse or experienced a contraceptive failure and are seeking emergency contraception within 72 hours of that event. A Doctronic physician will review your situation to confirm Next Choice is the right option for you.

Frequently asked questions
Next Choice contains levonorgestrel, a synthetic progestin. It works mainly by delaying or stopping ovulation so that an egg is not released to be fertilized. It may also affect the cervical mucus to make it harder for sperm to reach an egg. It does not terminate an established pregnancy.
You should take the first tablet as soon as possible after unprotected sex or contraceptive failure. The second tablet is taken 12 hours after the first. Next Choice is most effective when the first dose is taken within 72 hours, and effectiveness decreases with each passing hour.
No. Next Choice is intended only for emergency use after unprotected sex or contraceptive failure. It is not as effective as regular ongoing contraceptive methods and is not meant to replace them. Speak with your physician about suitable long-term contraceptive options.
Common side effects include nausea, vomiting, headache, dizziness, abdominal pain, fatigue, and changes to your next menstrual period (it may come earlier or later than expected). If you vomit within two hours of taking a dose, contact your physician about whether you need a replacement dose.
Your next menstrual period may come earlier or later than expected, and flow can be heavier or lighter than usual. If your period is more than a week late after taking Next Choice, or if you have other concerns, take a pregnancy test and consult a physician.
Some studies suggest that levonorgestrel-based emergency contraceptives may be less effective in individuals with higher body weight. If this applies to you, a physician can discuss whether an alternative such as ulipristal acetate (Ella) or a copper IUD might be more appropriate for your situation.
No. Next Choice only reduces the risk of pregnancy. It does not protect against sexually transmitted infections (STIs). If you are concerned about STI exposure, contact a healthcare provider for appropriate testing and treatment.
