Emergency Contraceptive
Accidents happen. Nurx provides emergency contraception before you need it, or when you need it now, with expedited shipping. Nurx can prescribe Ella, a prescription-only morning-after pill that may work for up to five days after unprotected sex.
Nurx also sells New Day, a generic form of plan B, which is available without a prescription. Taken within 3 days of unprotected sex, it can lower your chance of pregnancy. However, prescription-only Ella, may be more effective and is recommended for people who weigh more than 165 pounds.
If you do need an emergency contraceptive, Nurx can deliver it fast and discreetly, offering expedited shipping if you order before 1:00 PM EST from Monday to Thursday. However, it’s a better idea to request emergency contraception before you need it, so you’ll always have it on hand.
