Is giving someone Plan B illegal?
Yes! Anyone — no matter how old you are — can buy Plan B and other brands of levonorgestrel morning-after pills (aka emergency contraception). There are many brands of this type of morning-after pill: Plan B One Step, Take Action, My Way, Option 2, Preventeza, AfterPill, My Choice, Aftera, EContra, and others.
What happens if you take Ella and Plan B?
Don’t take more than one dose of ella at a time — it won’t give you extra protection from pregnancy, but it can make you feel nauseous. If you take ella and you end up needing emergency contraception again within five days, make sure you use ella again, and not Plan B or other levonorgestrel morning-after pills.
Is there another Plan B pill?
