MedDataToolMy Choice Tm is a medication designed for women to help prevent pregnancy after unprotected sex, especially if a birth control method failed. It works by stopping or delaying the release of an egg from the ovary. You should take it as soon as possible, ideally within 72 hours after unprotected sex, and if you vomit within 2 hours of taking it, you should contact a healthcare professional to see if you need to take another dose. It's important to know that you should not use it if you are already pregnant, as it won’t be effective then. Additionally, if you are taking efavirenz, a medication for HIV, it may make My Choice Tm less effective, so it's best to consult with a doctor or pharmacist before using it.
