    Plan B is an emergency contraceptive that is effective at preventing pregnancy if taken within 72 hours of unprotected sex. It works primarily by preventing ovulation or fertilization, and may also prevent implantation. It is more effective the sooner it is taken, with effectiveness of up to 89% if taken within 24 hours. Some potential side effects include nausea, vomiting, and irregular periods. It is not intended as a regular form of birth control and does not protect against sexually transmitted infections.
