Plan B One Step

What are the contents of this pill and how does it function?

This pill contains 1.5 mg of levonorgestrel which is also present in birth control pills  in lower doses. Levonorgestrel is a progestin hormone that works by hampering the release of an egg i.e ovulation during the menstrual cycle of a woman. This also works by making the vaginal fluid thicker so that it is difficult for the sperms to reach the egg and this also reorientate the uterus lining so that the fertilized egg does not get implanted.

This pill does not terminate pregnancy hence this is different from the abortion pills and mainly fall under the Birth Control Pill Category so please do not misunderstand this as an abortion pill. This medicine does not protect against any STD (sexually transmitted diseases) or HIV (AIDS) so proper precaution needs to be taken to ensure one does not contract such diseases.
