| What is the Morning After Pill?
The Morning After Pill contains a high dosage of the hormone progestin, and when it is used as directed, it prevents or ends pregnancy. It is marketed as an emergency contraceptive.
How is the Morning After Pill Taken?The Morning After Pill is designed to be taken in two doses. The first pill is supposed to be taken within the first 72 hours after intercourse, followed by the second pill 12 hours later1. Are there any other names for the Morning After Pill? Yes. The Morning After Pill is often known by its brand name, Plan B®, which was approved as an "emergency contraceptive" by the FDA in July 1999. Certain oral contraceptives are sometimes used in large doses to produce the same effect as Plan B®, but that’s not recommended. When you hear people talking about the Morning After Pill, they are usually referring to Plan B®. 1. http://www.go2planb.com/ForConsumers/TakingPlanB/Default.aspx.
