Take Action is an emergency women's contraceptive pill and is sold over-the-counter for women who have had either unprotected sex or have had sex when contraceptive devices have failed. Levonorgestrel, the active ingredient in Take Action, is a female hormone (progestin) that prevents or delays ovulation and changes the uterine lining to both prevent the movement of sperm and the attachment of a fertilized egg to the uterine wall. Take Action must be taken within 72 hours of unprotected sex to prevent pregnancy. The sooner it is taken, the better it will work. Take Action costs $34.95 for 1, 1.5mg tablet as a single dose (one tablet), but a SingleCare Take Action coupon reduces the price to $20.01 for 1, 1 tablets box. SingleCare discounts are available on over-the-counter medications when accompanied by a prescription.
