Birth Control - Emergency Contraceptive:
Emergency contraception is a safe and effective
means of preventing pregnancy after unprotected intercourse.
EC, also known as emergency birth control, has been available
for more than 30 years. It contains hormones found in birth
control pills and must be started within 120 hours after
unprotected intercourse. It is also referred to as
the "Morning After Pill."
Emergency Contraceptive Pill
Plan
B® is an emergency contraceptive that can still prevent a
pregnancy after contraceptive failure, unprotected sex, or
sexual assault. It should be taken within 3 days (72 hours) of
unprotected sex and can reduce the risk of pregnancy by up to
89%. But the sooner you take it the more effective it will be.
Plan B® is not RU-486 (the abortion pill); it will not work if
you are already pregnant.www.go2planb.com
