Taking morning after pill alongside a 30p tablet given to arthritis sufferers can make it work 50% BETTER, study finds The morning after pill works better when taken alongside a drug usually given to patients with arthritis, researchers have found. 

Levonorgestrel, sold as Levonelle in Britain or Plan B in the US, was found to be 63 per cent effective on its own.  

This jumped to 95 per cent when given with piroxicam, an anti-inflammatory drug that costs around 30p a tablet.  The Daily Mail
