Emergency
Contraception |
|
Plan B (the most commonly used form of
Emergency Contraception) is a medication used to
prevent pregnancy after sexual intercourse has
occurred. It is most effective if used as soon as
possible, but can be used up to 5 days after
unprotected sex. It is 85% to 95% effective in
preventing pregnancy. It will not cause a
miscarriage if you are already pregnant.
See
Emergency Contraception in the Health Topics
section for more information. |
