When should I talk to a doctor or pharmacist?
Ask a doctor or pharmacist before use if you are taking efavirenz (HIV medication) or rifampin (tuberculosis treatment) or medication for seizures (epilepsy). These medications may reduce the effectiveness of AfterPill and increase your chance of becoming pregnant. Your doctor may prescribe another form of emergency contraception that may not be affected by these medications.
How does AfterPill work?
AfterPill works before release of an egg from the ovary. As a result, AfterPill usually stops or delays the release of an egg from the ovary. AfterPill is one tablet that contains a higher dose of levonorgestrel than birth control pills and works in a similar way to prevent pregnancy.
How can I get the best results from AfterPill?
You have 72 hours (3 days) to try to prevent pregnancy after birth control failure or unprotected sex. The sooner you take AfterPill, the better it works.
How effective is AfterPill?
If AfterPill is taken as directed, it can significantly decrease the chance that you will get pregnant. About 7 out of every 8 women who would have gotten pregnant will not become pregnant.

You will know AfterPill has been effective when you get your next period, which should come at the expected time, or within a week of the expected time.
