Learn about Emergency Contraception

Is this the same as an abortion pill?
Drop down F.A.Q. toggle button

No - emergency contraceptive pills do not cause an abortion, or terminate pregnancy. They work by delaying ovulation. Emergency contraception is effective only before a pregnancy is established. It does not increase risk to an established pregnancy or harm a developing embryo.

Why do I need a prescription for My Way if it’s available over the counter?
Drop down F.A.Q. toggle button

While My Way is available without a prescription, that unfortunately does not mean it’s accessible for all patients. Many pharmacies place emergency contraception in locked enclosures or behind the counter. For patients concerned about cost, receiving a prescription can allow them to pay using their insurance. We’re committed to making emergency contraception more easily accessible for all our patients, including those who may experience these barriers.
