It’s simple!

Next Choice® has only 2 tablets:

  • The first one should be taken within
    72 hours (3 days) of having unprotected sex, sexual attack, or a known or suspected contraceptive failure, and a study shows a greater effect when taken sooner1
  • The second one should be taken 12 hours after the first tablet is taken
Next Choice
The first tablet should be taken as soon as possible. The second tablet should be taken 12 hours later.

Note: Photos of tablets are larger than actual tablets.

It’s that easy! If you use it as directed, your chances of becoming pregnant will be reduced by as much as 89%.

Please note:

  • You may experience a period earlier or later than usual for your menstrual cycle. If it is delayed more than 1 week, you could be pregnant. Please see your healthcare professional.
  • If you vomit within 1 hour of taking either dose of medication, call your healthcare provider to determine if a repeat dose will be needed
