What is the difference between Plan B and Take Action?

Plan B and Take Action are two contraceptive pills that are used to prevent conception or to reduce the risk of having pregnancy as a result of sex. Both pills are to be taken 72 hours after unprotected sexual intercourse. The fact that both are used to perform similar functions does not mean there are no differences between the two. Take Action has more of levonorgestrel than plan B. Levonorgestrel is a progestin or a synthetic compound usually included when preparing contraceptive pills.

Take Action is usually taken based on doctor's prescription, and that's why it is not that available in the market, whereas Plan B is very easy to get, and it is available in large quantities in the market. Also, you can use plan B without visiting any doctor.

However, it is important to note that both plan B and Take Action cannot be used to abort the pregnancy; in fact, they won't harm any existing pregnancy.
