Dosing & Administration

Easy to dose and easy to take

Next Choice® is convenient for women to take.

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.

There are simply 2 tablets:

• The first should be taken within 72 hours of unprotected sex, sexual attack, or a known or suspected contraceptive failure.
  
• The second should be taken 12 hours after the first tablet is taken

It is essential that Next Choice is taken as directed. The longer a woman waits to get started, the less effective they will be.³ You should let your patients know that Next Choice is most effective within the first 24 hours of having unprotected sex, sexual attack, or a known or suspected contraceptive failure. Counseling can help. By discussing emergency contraception with your patients prior to its necessity, your patients will be better prepared and have a clearer idea of their options. Discussion points have been provided for patient counseling. You may even consider providing an advance prescription to your patients – since timing is such a factor.

Important: If a patient vomits within 1 hour of taking Next Choice, you are the only one who should determine if a replacement dose is needed. Be sure to advise your patients to call you immediately if this or any other adverse event occurs.
