Plan B (levonorgestrel) is a prescription-strength emergency contraceptive used to reduce the risk of pregnancy after unprotected sex or contraceptive failure. It works primarily by delaying or inhibiting ovulation, and may also affect cervical mucus or the uterine lining to prevent fertilization or implantation. With timely use and guidance from a licensed physician, Plan B is most effective when taken as soon as possible within 72 hours of unprotected sex.
Doctronic can evaluate your need for Plan B (levonorgestrel) if you are an adult who has had unprotected sex or experienced contraceptive failure and is seeking to reduce the risk of unintended pregnancy. Plan B is not intended for use as a regular form of contraception and is not effective if you are already pregnant.
Because Plan B works through hormonal mechanisms, your physician will review any relevant reproductive or hormonal health history, including current medications that may affect its efficacy, to ensure it is appropriate for you.
Plan B is most effective when taken as soon as possible after unprotected sex. It can reduce the risk of pregnancy by up to 89% when taken within 72 hours. It retains some effectiveness up to 120 hours (5 days), but efficacy decreases with each passing hour.
No. Plan B is not effective and is not intended for use after pregnancy has been established. It works by preventing or delaying ovulation, not by terminating an existing pregnancy.
Plan B does not replace or interact negatively with regular hormonal contraceptives, but you should resume or start your regular contraception immediately after taking it. Speak with your physician about the best approach for ongoing contraception.
Common side effects include nausea, headache, dizziness, fatigue, abdominal pain, and changes to your next menstrual period, such as earlier or later timing or heavier or lighter flow. These effects are generally short-lived.
Some studies suggest levonorgestrel emergency contraception may be less effective in individuals with higher body weight. If this is a concern, your physician may discuss ulipristal (Ella) as an alternative, as its efficacy appears less affected by body weight.
Plan B is safe to use more than once if needed, but it is not recommended as a regular form of contraception because it is less effective than daily hormonal methods and does not protect against sexually transmitted infections. Your physician can help you find a more reliable ongoing contraceptive.
