Levonorgestrel Tablets

Levonorgestrel Tablets 0.75mg is a generic form of Plan B. This product is no longer manufactured, but you may occasionally find it in stock. The package instructions state that you should take 1 white pill within 72 hours after unprotected sex and 1 more peach pill 12 hours later. Each dose contains 0.75 mg of levonorgestrel (the two pills are identical, so it does not matter which pill you take first). However, research indicates that both doses can be taken at the same time up to 120 hours after unprotected sex. The pills are more effective the sooner they are taken, so take 2 Levonorgestrel pills at the same time as soon as possible after unprotected intercourse.
