A package of PlanB One-Step, an emergency contraceptive pill, is seen in security packaging at a CVS Pharmacy in Washington, U.S., July 7, 2022. REUTERS/Sarah SilbigerDec 23 - The U.S. Food and Drug Administration on Friday changed the label for the emergency contraception known as Plan B One-Step to make clear that the pill does not alter the course of an existing pregnancy.
It explains that Plan B One-Step works before the release of an egg from the ovary and as a result, usually stops or delays the release of an egg. The FDA also issued an updated question-and-answer section on its website, where the question "Is Plan B One-Step an abortifacient " is answered with "No."
