There is no increased risk of birth defects if you take the morning-after pill and still become pregnant or even if you are pregnant when you take it. We will give you a pregnancy test before dispensing it to you, mostly because this the method will not be effective if you are already pregnant.
Can Plan B have long-term effects?
There are no known long-term complications associated with taking EC pills. Common short-term side effects include nausea, headaches, and fatigue. If you have questions about the morning-after pill or contraception, talk to your healthcare provider or local pharmacist.
