Plan B® is not an abortion pill. It won't work if you're already pregnant. If you take Plan B® and are already pregnant, it will not affect your existing pregnancy. Plan B® is approved by the FDA and contains levonorgestrel, a hormone found in many birth control pills that healthcare professionals have been prescribing for more than 35 years. The difference is that Plan B® contains two pills with a larger dose of levonorgestrel than the amount found in a single birth control pill. |

| Important Safety Information: Plan B® does not protect against HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). Plan B® isn't effective if you're already pregnant, and it won't terminate an existing pregnancy. Side effects may include nausea, abdominal pain, fatigue, headache, changes in your period, dizziness, and breast tenderness. If your period is more than a week late, you may be pregnant. You should not take Plan B® if you are already pregnant. Plan B® should not be used as routine birth control, as it is not as effective. If you have severe abdominal pain, you may have an ectopic pregnancy, and should get immediate medical attention. You are encouraged to report negative side effects of prescription drugs to the FDA at fda.gov/medwatch or call 1-800-FDA-1088. Please see Prescribing Information to learn more. |
