Plan B One Step Information:

• What

What is Plan B One-Step?

Plan B One-Step is an emergency contraceptive containing a progestin hormone. It works by preventing the release of an egg and making it more difficult for sperm to fertilize an egg, reducing the risk of pregnancy after unprotected sex. This drug is not intended for use as a regular form of birth control, and it does not stop an existing pregnancy or protect against sexually transmitted infections.

• How

How do I take Plan B One-Step?

You should take Plan B One-Step as soon as possible, as it is most effective when taken within 72 hours of unprotected sex. Dosing instructions will vary for different emergency contraceptive brands and generics, but you should only take one Plan B One-Step pill. If you vomit within 2 hours of taking this medication, ask your doctor if you need to repeat the dose.

• Precautions

Before taking Plan B One-Step, tell your doctor if:

• You are allergic to progestins or any of the ingredients in Plan B One-Step pills.

These symptoms are typically mild and go away on their own, but if they do not, tell your doctor or pharmacist. Talk to your doctor right away if you experience moderate or severe lower abdominal pain, and seek emergency medical attention if you think you are experiencing a severe allergic reaction to this drug.

• Missed Dose

What if I forget to take a dose of Plan B One-Step?

Because you will only take one dose of Plan B One-Step, it is unlikely that you will forget a dose.

If it has been more than 72 hours and you have not taken the medication, contact your doctor right away.

How do I store Plan B One-Step?
