Can I take the morning-after pill at night?

Yes. You can take emergency contraception pills (the morning-after pill) at any time of day for up to 5 days after unprotected sex. For emergency contraception pills like Plan B One-Step, Next Choice, Next Choice One Dose, and Levonorgestrel, the sooner you take them more effective they are. The emergency contraceptive pill ella doesn’t decrease in effectiveness over those 5 days.
