Abstract
This manuscript covers Plan B, the brand name of emergency contraception that now has dual over the counter and prescriptive status. Although Plan B has been available over the counter since November 2006 to men and women older than 18, very few patients know about this option. In addition, many clinicians and patients believe myths about Plan B. This article describes the uses of Plan B, its potential to decrease unwanted pregnancies and abortions, current laws, indications and effectiveness, mechanism of action, and helpful hints.
