Emergency contraception prescription online: same-day appointments available

There are two FDA-approved pills for emergency contraception. Ella is a highly effective prescription medication for emergency contraception. It contains ulipristal acetate, which can be taken up to 120 hours (five days) after unprotected sex. It's available with a doctor's prescription and is considered one of the most reliable methods of emergency contraception.

Plan B, often referred to as the "morning-after pill," is a widely accessible over-the-counter option for emergency contraception. However, with a doctor's prescription, insurance may partially or fully cover the cost. It contains levonorgestrel and should be taken as soon as possible after unprotected sex. Plan B is most effective when taken within 72 hours (three days) after an encounter.

Any of these options are effective in reducing the risk of pregnancy when used correctly and promptly after unprotected sex or contraceptive failure. It's essential to discuss the best choice for your situation with your doctor to ensure you receive the most appropriate and effective care.

Emergency contraception is generally safe when taken according to your doctor’s guidance. However, some common side effects of emergency contraception pills include:

• Nausea

• Fatigue

• Menstrual changes, including your next period coming earlier or later than expected

Rare side effects may include allergic reactions or severe abdominal pain. It's essential to consult your doctor if you experience any unusual or severe symptoms.
