How will my spouse get emergency contraceptive pills (ECPs)?
According to the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services, Plan B (progestin-only) was recently approved to be sold over-the-counter to women who are 18 years of age or older. Women under the age of 18 will need a prescription. Women will have to show proof of age to buy Plan B. Plan B will be sold at pharmacies or stores that have a licensed pharmacist on staff by the end of 2006.
