| What is the Morning After Pill?
The Morning After Pill is a so-called emergency contraceptive (EC) that can be taken within the first 72 hours after intercourse to prevent pregnancy.1 The first EC – Preven 2 – was approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on September 2, 1998.
Preven is a combination of the hormones estrogen and progestin. It comes in a kit with a pregnancy test (if the woman is already pregnant, taking the pill will not work), four pills and an information booklet. In most states, it can only be purchased with a prescription.
