U.S. FDA changes Plan B label to say it does not cause abortion

The consumer information distributed with the morning after pill known as Plan B One-Step, which has been available over the counter for everyone since 2013, now makes clear its mechanism of action does not alter the implantantion of an egg. 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 (causing abortion)" is answered with "No." The FDA said that current science suggests Plan B One-Step works by inhibiting or delaying ovulation and midcycle hormonal changes. Foundation Consumer Healthcare, which owns the Plan B brand, had requested approval to modify some of the mechanism of action information on the label, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) said.
