plan B Emergency Contraception

PLEASE NOTE: Unfortunately we cannot guarantee shipping times, and this item may not arrive in time to be used effectively.

plan B, also known as the “morning after pill,” is for times when your birth control method has failed or been forgotten and you don’t want to get pregnant. Whether you’ve missed a few pills, the condom broke or slipped off, or you forgot to insert your diaphragm, etc., you can count on plan B for pregnancy prevention. plan B can be taken up to 72 hours after unprotected sex but the sooner you take it, the more effective it is.

plan B is the first emergency contraceptive approved for sale in Canada. Each tablet contains 0.75 mg of Levonorgestrel—the same ingredient commonly found in birth control pills. plan B can prevent pregnancy if taken within 72 hours of unprotected sex.

How does plan B work?

plan B is two pills which you take together. If taken within 72 hours, it prevents pregnancy by doing one of three things:

• Temporarily stops the release of an egg from the ovary
• Prevents fertilization
• Prevents a fertilized egg from attaching to the uterus

plan B is a day after pill, not an abortion pill—if you take plan B you will not be terminating a pregnancy.
