What is Plan B?
plan B is a form of emergency contraception. Although commonly known as "the morning-after pill," plan B can be effective in preventing pregnancy if taken within 72 hours of unprotected sex or contraceptive failure. And if pregnancy is something you're worried about, it's important to act sooner, rather than later. The majority of women can take plan B without a problem and it can be purchased without a prescription at most pharmacies across Canada. It's kept behind the counter so you'll have to ask the pharmacist for it once you're there. There are few side effects and no evidence of any long-term impact on your health or future fertility. It's normal to have lots of questions about what happens when you take plan B. You might want to know how you're going to feel afterwards, if there are any symptoms you should know about, and what happens to your body when you take plan B.
