What you need to know about EBC

Emergency birth control (EBC) is a safe and effective means of preventing pregnancy after unprotected intercourse, also known as emergency contraception or its brand name -- Plan B. EBC is also sometimes called the "morning-after" pill. EBC has been available for more than 30 years and it contains hormones found in typical birth control pills. In order to maximize its effectiveness, it must be started within 72 hours (or 5 days) after unprotected intercourse.

EBC should be in every woman’s medicine cabinet. It is an important tool for women to prevent unintended pregnancy.

You may want EBC or Plan B if . . .

• The condom broke or slipped off, and he ejaculated inside or near your vagina.
• You forgot to take your birth control pills, insert your ring, or apply your patch.
• Your diaphragm, cap, or shield slipped out of place, and he ejaculated inside or near your vagina.
• You miscalculated your “safe” days.
• He didn’t pull out in time.
• You weren’t using any birth control.
• He forced you to have unprotected vaginal sex.

EBC or Plan B is available over the counter at many pharmacies for women over the age of 18.
