Plan B or ECP- Doctor’s Prescription
Hi Doc. I had a sexual intercourse last night and the condom accidentally broke. This happened on the last day of my menstruation with last Thursday being the first day. I am planning to take Plan B or ECP just to be sure. May I know if I need a prescription for this? I am open to visit an OB-GYNE if required. Thanks in advance.

No need of prescription but to avoid the pregnancy take emergency contraceptive pill within 72 hours of intercourse otherwise it will not work.Wait till next cycle and do pregnancy test by Bhcg on 25 th day of period.
