Levonorgestrel 1.5 MG
Levonorgestrel is a type of progestin that prevents the release of an egg (ovulation) so the sperm will not find an egg to fertilize. Levonorgestrel has been trusted for 40 years as a safe way to prevent pregnancy. Not to be confused with the abortion pill (mifepristone) - this is not an abortion pill. If you are already pregnant, it will not harm an existing pregnancy.
HOW IT WORKS
Stops the release of an egg from the ovary (ovulation). No egg. No fertilization. No pregnancy.
Take within 72 hours of having sex. The sooner you take it, the better it works.
If you are already pregnant, it will NOT end or harm your pregnancy.
Won’t affect your ability to get pregnant later, when you’re ready.
Possible side effects of Morning After Pill
Morning After Pill® is safe when used as directed. Its main ingredient has been used for more than 40 years. Some people may experience side effects but they tend to be mild and of short duration. The effects of the pill are only temporarily in your system so it will not
affect your health later on.
Some people might experience temporary changes in their period such as bleeding and spotting. If your period is a week late or you think you
might be pregnant, please take a pregnancy test.
The hormone in Morning After Pill® delays the release of an egg (ovulation), so sperm can’t find the egg to fertilize it. When fertilization is avoided, a pregnancy is prevented. No egg. No fertilization. No pregnancy.

See the Morning After Pill product label for all information about the product.
How can I be sure if Morning After Pill® worked?
You’ll know Morning After Pill® has worked when you get your next period, which should come at the expected time. Sometimes your period can be up to a week late. If you wish to find out earlier whether Morning After Pill has worked, you can do an early pregnancy test 10-12 days after the day you had unprotected sex.
Will taking Morning After Pill® affect my ability to get pregnant later?
No. It will not. If you currently have periods every month, taking Morning After Pill® will not affect your ability to get pregnant later. When you start your next cycle, you’ll ovulate again and that will bring a new opportunity to get pregnant. So no worries if you want to have children later on!
Can I continue to use my regular birth control after taking Morning After Pill®?
Yes you can. It is safe to do so.
Is there a weight limit for using Morning After Pill®?
There is no weight limit for Morning After Pill®. When you take it is the most important factor; the sooner you take it after unprotected sex, the more effective it will be.
Is Morning After Pill® the same as the abortion pill?
No. Morning After Pill® helps prevent a pregnancy from starting. It is not the same as the abortion pill so it will not terminate or harm an existing pregnancy.
How often can I take Morning After Pill®?
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.
The Cadence Morning After Pill came packaged very securely, and the box looks exactly as advertised online. I appreciate the clear instructions and information about potential side effects, which adds reassurance for anyone considering its use. Having this on hand as a preventative measure gives me peace of mind. Additionally, the product is more affordable than many others I've seen, making it a practical choice. I feel confident in this purchase and would recommend it to others.

I bought this emergency contraceptive to keep at home just in case. It's much cheaper than other options, which I really liked. The packaging looked just like it did online-simple and secure. I haven't needed to use it yet, but it feels good to know it's there if I need it. It's nice to have a more affordable option that's easy to keep on hand. I'd definitely recommend it for anyone who wants to be prepared!

Amazon is a great place to buy emergency contraception. I bought Cadence in case of an emergency. It is simple to use and looks just like the pictures online. Cadence is more cost effective compared to other emergency contraceptive brands. Levonorgestrel works when you take it within 72 hours.

The Morning After Pill comes in discreet, compact packaging that is easy to store and carry. As a male purchasing this product, I found the packaging to be unassuming and straightforward, which helped ease any potential awkwardness at the checkout counter. The instructions were clear and concise, making it simple to understand how and when to use the pill. The reason for my purchase was to ensure my partner and I had a reliable backup in case of contraceptive failure. The availability of this product at local convenience stores made it incredibly accessible. Affordability could be changed. Priced around $19.95, it is considerably cheaper than many leading brands, making it a budget-friendly option for emergency contraception. However, I wish it was more affordable so that anyone can have it. This cost-effectiveness does not compromise its quality or effectiveness, as it contains the same active ingredient, levonorgestrel, which has been trusted for over 40 years in Plan B products. Overall, my experience with this product was positive, and I would recommend it to anyone in need of a reliable and affordable emergency contraceptive.

I purchased this emergency contraceptive because I wanted to try a different kind of Plan B (less expensive) and to stock up so I have some on hand. I took it well within the 72 hour timeframe of when to use it, and I did not experience any adverse side effects. It came exactly as packaged and is a great morning after pill for a cheaper cost.
