What you need to know about Emergency Birth Control

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 120 hours (or 5 days) after unprotected intercourse. The sooner it is taken the more effective it is.

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.
• 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.
• You were forced to have unprotected vaginal sex.
   

Availability

EBC or Plan B is available over the counter at many pharmacies for women over the age of 18. However, prescription is necessary to obtain EBC at a pharmacy. We offer EBC or Plan B at a more affordable price than many pharmacies. No appointment is necessary, just stop by and pick up Plan B any time during our clinic hours. No appointment is necessary, unless you are under the age of 18.
 

Cost:

$20: One Pack (one usage)
$35: Two Packs
 

If you are under 18

If you are under the age of 18, you must call the Clinic (404-728-7900) prior to visiting the Clinic so that we can ensure a nurse is available to phone in your prescription. In other words, you can not simply stop by and pick up a EBC without an appointment.
