    You know, just in case:

    Ella, a prescription-only emergency contraceptive, has received final approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, the drug's manufacturer HRA Pharma, announced Friday.

    This is the first drug legally available for use in the United States that can be used within 120 hours, or five days, of unprotected intercourse or failure of some other contraceptive method. But the five-day morning after pill has been available in Europe since 2009 under the brand name ellaOne.

    Women who are pregnant, or suspect they are pregnant, should not use this product, the FDA said. Women who are breastfeeding should also not use ella. Here's more labeling information from the FDA.

    Watson Pharmaceuticals, Inc. will begin preparations to commercialize the product in the fourth quarter this year, according to HRA Pharma.

    Ella got a nod from FDA advisers in June. Here's more on this drug

    How expensive though? If you need the morning after pill, plan b is fine... if this is cheaper though I can see it being really popular. I've only ever had to use plan b once and I was very happy it existed. lol

    But how is it a better alternative to plan b? Perhaps I'm just confused. Is it the 5 day window? If I am in a situation where emergency contraception is warranted, it's happening within 24 hrs for sure anyway.

    Bitches be CrAzY! I like that idea that there are 4 extra days to get it sorted out if needed.

    Maybe it's marginally more palatable to the majority of pro-life folks because it allows them a couple of days to ask women to consider adoption or God's plan or whatever?

    I'm not really sure what the practical advantage is myself.

    Yes. This one will be Rx-only though, so it's impact will be severely lessened.
