“A new emergency contraceptive fully effective for five days after sex should be approved by the FDA, the federal agency’s expert advisory panel says.”
“By 11-0 votes, the panel found Ella to be safe and effective.”
…”Currently, the only other approved emergency contraceptive is Plan B. Although Ella likely will be available only by prescription, Plan B is approved for over-the-counter sale to women aged 17 and older. Women younger than age 17 must have a prescription.”
