How Next Choice® Works
Similar to a birth control pill
Next Choice is thought to work by preventing ovulation, preventing fertilization (by altering tubal transport of sperm and/or egg), and by inhibiting implantation (by altering the endometrium). It works similar to a birth control pill.
When used as directed, Next Choice can reduce a woman’s risk of getting pregnant by as much as 89% if it is taken within 72 hours (3 days) of unprotected sex, contraceptive failure, or sexual attack. A study demonstrated Next Choice worked even better when taken within the first 24 hours after sex.1,2 Next Choice is not effective, however, once implantation begins.
When used as directed, Next Choice will not disrupt or affect an existing pregnancy or harm a developing fetus.
