Taking Plan B
Sometimes you need a backup plan.
And when you do, there’s Plan B—the #1 OB/GYN recommended emergency contraception brand.
When to use Plan B
Plan B is FDA-approved emergency contraception you take within 72 hours when:
- You didn’t use any form of birth control and had unprotected sex
- There was an issue with your regular birth control method (e.g., the condom broke or slipped)
- You missed a dose (or more) of your regular birth control pill and had sex
Keep in mind: Plan B does not impact the effectiveness of any regular birth control methods. So, if you take Plan B, you can (and should!) resume your regular birth control right away.
Remember:
Plan B won’t protect you against HIV/AIDS or any other sexually transmitted diseases (STDs).
