"When things don't exactly go as they are planned, it's important to have a safe and simple backup. This is what Plan B One-Step® offers. My patients and I talk about all the birth control options. But as part of that conversation, we also talk about what happens when birth control fails. Or when it's not used. It's extremely important to me that my patients have all the information available. That's why I always recommend Plan B One-Step® for emergency contraception. Plan B One-Step® is an important option because it is available over the counter in a single pill, for consumers age 17 and older. These features make it simple for my patients when they need it right away. It can significantly reduce the chance of pregnancy after contraceptive failure or unprotected sex. That’s important, because it means women can act more quickly and just as effectively. Plan B One-Step® offers peace of mind, in a single step. It’s something that I think every woman should know about."

"As you can imagine, many of my customers are anxious and confused when they come in. I do my best to help ease their minds and answer any questions they may have. I tell them that emergency contraception is safe and effective. I let them know it is available over the counter if they’re 17, and if they’re not 17 or older, I can help them obtain a prescription. Plan B One-Step® emergency contraception is an excellent choice. It’s only one pill, so it is easy to use and they can take it right away. It means a lot to my customers to be comfortable when asking for emergency contraception. And knowing that Plan B One-Step® is the only one-pill option that is available over the counter, for consumers age 17 and older, should certainly add to their comfort level."
