New One-Dose Version of Emergency Contraception is Approved
The FDA has approved Plan B One-Step, a new one-dose version of Plan B, an emergency contraception medication. Plan B One-Step is approved for over-the-counter (OTC) emergency contraception for women and men age 17 and older, and by prescription only for women younger than age 17. The single-dose formulation - which makes it simpler and more convenient for women - should be available at the end of July.
Emergency contraception is a safe and effective method of preventing unintended pregnancies. Emergency contraception is not the abortion pill. It works to prevent unintended pregnancies and will not end an existing pregnancy.
