What Is Plan B?

Learn the facts before you decide.

What Is Plan B?

Learn the facts before you decide.

Before you make any decisions, it’s important to understand what Plan B is and how it works.

Plan B—often called the “morning-after pill”—is available over the counter and is typically taken after unprotected sex. Its purpose is to delay or prevent the release of an egg. If taken soon after sex, it may reduce the chance of pregnancy starting. However, it does not cause a miscarriage or end an existing pregnancy. 1, 3, 4

Things to Know Before Taking Plan B

Just because Plan B is easy to buy doesn’t mean it’s risk-free. Keep in mind: 

  • It’s a high dose of hormones that can cause noticeable side effects.2, 5
  • It isn’t intended for regular use and should not replace birth control. 1, 3, 5
  • It does not protect against sexually transmitted infections.
  • It may be less effective if you are on certain medications or if your body weight is higher.5, 6

If you’re worried about pregnancy, it’s okay to take a step back and get real answers first. You don’t have to rush. Schedule an appointment—at no cost—with Pregnancy Help 4 U.
