Aftera FAQs
What Is Aftera?
Aftera is a levonorgestrel emergency contraceptive pill taken to help prevent pregnancy after you have unprotected sex or in the event of a birth control failure.
How Effective Is Aftera?
When Aftera is used as directed, it can help significantly decrease one's chances of becoming pregnant. Studies have shown that when taken correctly, most women who would have otherwise become pregnant, do not after taking Aftera.
How Long Does Aftera Stay In Your System?
Levonorgestrel pills typically stay in one's system 5-7 days after consuming them depending on one's weight and metabolism.
How To Take Aftera?
Take Aftera as soon as possible within 3 days after unprotected sex. The sooner you take it the better it will work. If you vomit within 2 hours after taking the medication, call a healthcare professional to find out if you should repeat the dose. Aftera typically has a long shelf life, so it is helpful to purchase Aftera to keep on hand if other birth control methods fail, such as a condom breaking.
How Does Aftera Work?
Aftera helps prevent pregnancy mainly by preventing ovulation. It may also prevent fertilization of sperm to a released egg or attachment of a fertilized egg to the uterus. Please note that aftera is not effective at preventing STDS. Aftera is not meant to be used proactively to prevent pregnancy before having sex but should be used when other birth control methods fail or after unprotected sex.
How To Know If Aftera Worked?
The only way to know if Aftera levonorgestrel pills worked for you is to wait until your next period comes. If your period is a week late, you may want to take a pregnancy test.
How Can I Pick Up Aftera Discretely?
Aftera is available to discretely pick up at select CVS in store pickup and drive through locations. Check to see if your local CVS has in store pickup available.
