Frequently Asked QuestionsFrequently Asked Questions
What is Plan B® One-Step?
Plan B® One-Step is the only emergency contraception that is just one pill. Other emergency contraception requires two pills, twelve hours apart. It is a backup method of preventing pregnancyand is not for routine use. It can reduce the chance of pregnancy when taken as directed up to 72 hours (3 days) after unprotected sex (if your regular birth control method fails, or if you've had sex without birth control).
How does Plan B® One-Step work?
Plan B® One-Step is one pill which has a higher dose of levonorgestrel, a hormone found in many birth control pills that healthcare professionals have been prescribing for more than 35 years. Plan B® One-Step works in a similar way to prevent pregnancy. Plan B® One-Step will not affect an existing pregnancy.
When is it appropriate to use Plan B® One-Step?
You can use Plan B® One-Step after you've had unprotected sex or contraceptive failure one or more times in the last 72 hours (3 days), and you don't want to become pregnant. Plan B® One-Step can be used as a backup method for birth control if, for example:
* Your regular birth control failed (your partner's condom broke or slipped)
* You made a mistake with your regular method (you forgot to take your birth control pills)
* You didn't use any birth control method
When is it not appropriate to use Plan B® One-Step?
Plan B® One-Step should not be used:
* If you're already pregnant, because it won't work
* If you're allergic to levonorgestrel or any of the ingredients in Plan B® One-Step
* In place of regular birth control. Plan B® One-Step should not be used as routine birth control, as it's not as effective. Plan B® One-Step won't protect you from HIV infection (the virus that causes AIDS) or any other sexually transmitted diseases (STDs)
How effective is Plan B® One-Step?
Plan B® One-Step works better the sooner you use it. If it is taken as directed within 72 hours (3 days) after unprotected sex or contraceptive failure, it can significantly decrease the chance that you will become pregnant. About 7 out of every 8 women who would have gotten pregnant will not become pregnant. Plan B® One-Step works even better if taken within the first 24 hours after unprotected sex or contraceptive failure.
Can I use Plan B® One-Step for regular birth control?
Plan B® One-Step should not be used as regular birth control. Plan B® One-Step is not as effective as using a regular birth control method correctly and consistently. It is a backup method to be used if your regular birth control fails, or if you have sex without birth control. If you have unprotected sex after taking Plan B® One-Step, it cannot protect you from getting pregnant.
