Emergency contraception is a method to prevent pregnancy in women who have had unprotected sex or when birth control methods have failed. It may be used:

  • After a sexual assault or rape
  • When a condom breaks or a diaphragm slips out of place
  • When a woman forgets to take birth control pills, late for depo shot
  • When you have sex and did not use any birth control

More important information

  • Using EC may change the time of the month when you can become pregnant.
  • After you use EC, you must take extra care to use birth control every time you have sex, especially until you get your next period.
  • If you have unprotected sex again, be sure to take EC again.
  • You have the best chance of taking EC immediately after unprotected sex if you have it on hand before you need it. Get it today. Always keep it handy.
  • EC never protects against sexually transmitted infection. Always use a condom.
  • Plan B is safe and effective when taken according to directions.
  • Research shows that emergency birth control works the same way as regular birth control pills.
  • Emergency birth control DOES NOT cause an abortion. It will not work if you are already pregnant.*
