In the realm of women’s reproductive health, having choices is paramount. The emergency contraceptive landscape has historically been limited, often leaving women with just Plan B One Step and its generic counterpart as their primary options. Fortunately, this is starting to change.
Vagisil has recently launched Preventeza, a new emergency contraceptive pill that features the same active ingredient, levonorgestrel, as Plan B One Step. This ingredient is commonly found in various birth control medications, but emergency contraceptive pills contain it in a higher dosage, allowing them to effectively prevent pregnancy by inhibiting ovulation, fertilization, or implantation of a fertilized egg in the uterus.
The introduction of Preventeza not only expands the choices available to women but also enhances accessibility in a market that has seen limited options. As Dr. Sarah Thompson, a reproductive health expert, stated, “With more emergency contraceptive options available in stores, we can increase accessibility for all women, ultimately preventing unintended pregnancies.” This increased availability means that pharmacies are less likely to run out of stock when women need these medications the most.
You can find Preventeza at retailers that sell emergency contraceptive pills, and it’s also available at clinics like Planned Parenthood or through Vagisil’s website, where next-day delivery is an option. Priced at $47, it stands on par with Plan B, but the key advantage is the additional choice it provides for women seeking to prevent pregnancy.
Despite morning-after pills being available over-the-counter since 2013 for women of all ages, the limited options still persist. This new release is a step toward change, and we can only hope for more alternatives to become available in the future.
