Video Transcript

Hey, it's Dr. Betsy Greenleaf, first board certified Female Urogynecologist answering questions here for the plusOne community ask the expert.

Today's question is, how many times can the morning after pill be taken?

Well, in theory, it can be taken as many times as needed. However, remember, the morning after pill is considered an emergency contraception. It's not as effective as a long-term contraception, such as the birth control pill, the IUD implantable devices.

So if you're in need of something more long-term, check with your healthcare provider to find out which one is right for you.

And stick around because we have more amazing questions coming up with plusOne ask the expert. Your question could be answered next.
