Frequently asked questions

Fem Choice Emergency Contraceptive delays ovulation with a higher dose (1.5mg) of a commonly used active ingredient (Levonorgestrel) in birth control pills. It's safe and as effective as regular birth control for those unplanned moments when used within 72 hours.

It's not an abortion pill, and will not affect a pre-existing pregnancy. Fem Choice should not be used as a form of regular birth control.

Fem Choice won’t protect against HIV/AIDS or other STDs since it's not created to prevent sexually transmitted diseases.

No, Fem Choice will not impact your ability to get pregnant in the future and it leaves your system like regular birth control over time.

It’s as easy as one step. Take one tablet by mouth up to 72 hours (3 days) after unprotected sex to help prevent pregnancy. The sooner you take it, the more effective it is.

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 Fem Choice Emergency Contraceptive and increase your chance of becoming pregnant. Your doctor may prescribe another form of emergency contraception that may not be affected by these medications.
