Morning-After Pill Information

Morning-After Pills

Morning-after pills are any type of emergency contraceptive used after unprotected intercourse or contraceptive failure (e.g. a broken condom) to attempt to prevent pregnancy. The morning-after pill, also known as Plan B, is the most commonly used emergency contraceptive. The morning-after pill is not the same as the abortion pill or a chemical abortion and should not be used to end a pregnancy. If you think you are already pregnant, contact us for free testing today.

5 Day After Pills

Ella can be taken up to five days after unprotected sex or contraceptive failure. However, like most drugs, it's important to talk to a medical professional about your health history and potential side effects before taking an emergency contraceptive. 

 

If you are already pregnant from an earlier sexual encounter, emergency contraceptives should not be taken and may cause unpleasant side effects. While we do not provide morning-after pills, we can answer your questions and test for pregnancy. Give us a call to schedule an appointment today
