EK is a 25 year old female who presents to the pharmacy requesting Plan B® (levonorgestrel) for emergency contraception following an episode of unprotected sex 12 hours ago. After speaking with EK, the pharmacist decides she is a good candidate to receive Plan B®. The pharmacist should include which of the following counselling information for EK?

  1. Take one tablet daily for 3 consecutive days.

  2. A pregnancy test should be done 5 days after completing Plan B®.

  3. Plan B® will protect EK from pregnancy due to unprotected intercourse until her next menses.

  4. EK may experience spotting a few days after taking Plan B®

The correct answer is: EK may experience spotting a few days after taking Plan B®

The correct answer is D because Plan B® is a one-time use emergency contraception and not meant for daily use. Option A is incorrect because taking one tablet daily is not the recommended dose for Plan B®. Option B is incorrect because a pregnancy test should be taken 3 weeks after taking Plan B®, not 5 days. Option C is incorrect because Plan B® is not a form of birth control and does not protect against pregnancy during unprotected intercourse after taking it. Option D is the only correct answer because spotting is a common side effect of Plan B® and the pharmacist should inform EK of this potential symptom.
