How often can I take Morning After Pill?Updated 2 months ago

Morning After Pill should not be used as a regular method of birth control. If you are having unprotected sex regularly and want to avoid getting pregnant, you should use regular birth control.  Learn more about regular birth control options at www.bedsider.org.

If you have already used Morning After Pill, it can be safely used again after another instance of unprotected sex or birth control failure. It works in the same way every time you take it and will not become less effective over time.

Morning After Pill doesn’t provide long‑term protection against future pregnancy—it works to help prevent pregnancy after only one act of unprotected sex or birth control failure. It will not affect your future fertility. 

The FDA-approved labeling for Morning After Pill has no restrictions on how often you can take it, but its intended use is for emergency contraception only.
