Plan B One-Step (LEVONORGESTREL)

About Plan B

Plan B One-Step® Is

  • A backup plan that helps prevent pregnancy from happening after unprotected sex or birth control failure and is not for routine use
  • For use within 72 hours (3 days) after sex, but the sooner you take it, the better it works
  • Contains levonorgestrel, the same ingredient used in many birth control pills—and it works in a similar way
  • Just one pill, so you get what you need right away

What Plan B One-Step® Is Not

  • It's not RU-486 (the abortion pill)
  • It won't work if you're already pregnant
  • It shouldn't affect or terminate an existing pregnancy
  • It isn't intended to be regular birth control and should not be used that way
  • It's not as effective as other methods of birth control used consistently and correctly—so it's important to have another reliable source of birth control that's right for you
  • It won't protect you from HIV infection (the virus that causes AIDS) or any other sexually transmitted diseases (STDs)

  • The Countdown Clock

    Plan B One-Step® should be taken as soon as possible within 72 hours (3 days).
