Answer -
I still use the official recommendationi of one tablet within 72 hours and again 12 hours later. Preven (another EC) is two tablets within 72 hours and again 12 hours later. You must take these within the 72 hours period or they will not be effective. If you do not get your period two weeks later, take a pregnancy test. If you develop nausea or vomiting, call your doctor.
AnswerThere are usually no complications or side effects of the Preven or Plan B. However, use can cause nausea and vomiting in some women. Usually, I prescribe Zofran to my patients just in case there is any nausea or vomiting. If you develop nausea or vomiting, I suggest that you call your doctor and get something to relieve the discomfort. If you have no side effects, you do not need to call your doctor.
