View full FDA label ↗Fem Choice Morning After is a medication designed to help women reduce the chance of pregnancy after having unprotected sex, such as when a contraceptive fails or no birth control is used. It works by preventing or delaying ovulation, which is when an egg is released from the ovary. You should take it as soon as possible, ideally within 72 hours, and if you vomit within two hours of taking it, you should contact a healthcare professional to see if you need to take another dose. One important warning is that you should not use it if you have ever had an allergic reaction to levonorgestrel. Additionally, it does not protect against sexually transmitted diseases, including HIV/AIDS.
