\nestrogen\/progestin combination regimen (Yupze method), progestin alone (Plan B),
\nmifepristone (RU-486), or copper IUD insertion would be effective. <\/span>The estrogen\/progestin combinations,
\nprogestin alone or mifepristone are best administered within 72 hours. <\/span>There is some evidence that there may be
\nefficacy up to 120 hours. <\/span>However, only
\nIUD insertion is recommended for up to 120 hours. <\/span>These methods work by preventing ovulation, preventing
\nimplantation, or causing regression of the corpus luteum and are not considered
\nequivalent to therapeutic abortion.<\/span><\/p>\n
\nof levonorgestrel taken twice 12 hours apart. Preven is a prepackaged
\nestrogen\/progestin. <\/span>Standard birth
\ncontrol pills can also be used with dosing adjustments. <\/span>This methods is felt to be about 80%

\nimplantation. <\/span>600 mg once works 100% of
\nthe time if given within 72 hours.
\n<\/span>Doses as low as 10 mg have been equally efficacious. <\/span>Mifepristone appears to be efficacious even
