Morning After Pill

The morning after pill, also called Ellaone, Levonorgestrel, the "plan B" pill and "emergency contraception", is a pill taken to prevent unwanted pregnancy. Below are some of its features:

• Can prevent pregnancy if taken within 5 days of intercourse.
• Requires doctor's prescription.
• For preventing pregnancy after sex, not for abortions.
• Protects Women from unwanted pregnancy and unplanned births.
• Is considered safe if taken as prescribed.

The morning after pill is for preventing unwanted pregnancy, not for abortion. The pill will not abort a baby. Instead, it prevents a woman's body from releasing an egg temporarily, so that conception does not occur.

The morning after pill works by preventing an egg from being released, preventing conception. However, there will be some instances where the egg has already been released. This is why the morning after pill is not 100% effective.

If the pill is taken within 72 hours of having intercourse, the levonorgestrel can prevent 87% of pregnancies, and up to 95% when taken within 24 hours.

Time is of the essense when using emergency contraception pills such as levonorgestrel. It will only be effective if taken within 72 hours.
