How Taken
This medication is to be taken with food or immediately after a meal (to prevent stomach upset). If it is possible, try to take this medication at the same time each day, this makes easier for you to remember to take it. You should learn the proper use of your particular medication brand. Follow carefully your dosing schedule and always ask your doctor or pharmacist if you have any questions. During the first week of taking this medication you should use a supplemental form of birth control since it takes a while to be effective. If used as a "morning after" pill, please follow the directions from your doctor.

If you have any questions please consult your doctor, including questions regarding possible use in nonsmokers over 40 years of age.

Q. In what way does the consultation online work?
A: Online consultations are the new breed in health care patient-to-physician communication. Under this procedure, patients do not have to have the usual physical exam by the doctor; instead the patient fills out an online medical history, and this questionnaire is then sent to the doctor through our secure order protocol. While online consultations will never replace traditional medicine, they are convenient for the patient that does not require a physical exam to receive the treatments they need.
