Emergency pill to prevent pregnancy: Part 3

How will I know if Plan B One-Step worked?

Women who take the pill will have their next menstrual period at the expected time or within 7 days of the expected time. If the menstrual period is delayed beyond by more than 7 days, than the pill has not worked and you may be pregnant. In such a case, you should get a pregnancy test.

How often can I use Plan B One-Step?

Plan B One-Step is only meant for emergency use. One should use common sense and learn about other methods of contraception rather than rely on an emergency pill.

Who should not use plan B one Step?

- Those who are pregnant (because it will not work)
- If you are allergic to progestins or any of the
ingredients in Plan B One-Step
- Those seeking regular birth control

Protect yourself in more ways than one. Plan B One-Step is an emergency contraceptive pill that helps prevent pregnancy after unprotected sex or when your birth control fails or is not used correctly.

Remember, Plan B One-Step is only for emergency pregnancy prevention. There are many other pills and products that work for regular birth control. Talk to your health professional if you want to know about contraception and what may work for you.

The cost of Plan B one step ranges from $35-$50
