Plan B is a type of emergency contraception that can be used after unprotected sex or a birth control failure to prevent pregnancy. It is a form of hormonal contraception and should not be used as a regular method of birth control.
If you are already using a regular form of birth control, such as the pill, patch, ring, shot, or IUD, you do not need to use Plan B as well. However, if you miss a dose of your regular birth control or have a contraceptive failure, using Plan B as emergency contraception may be appropriate.
It is important to note that Plan B is most effective when taken as soon as possible after unprotected sex or a contraceptive failure. It can be taken up to 72 hours after unprotected sex, but the sooner it is taken, the better. Additionally, it does not protect against sexually transmitted infections (STIs), so using condoms or other barrier methods is important for STI prevention.
If you have any concerns or questions about using Plan B or other forms of contraception, it is best to consult with a healthcare provider.
