Can you really get it by asking the pharmacist with no doctors note? as long as your over 18? i read this in a magazine today, wondering if it was true..

The law protects minors so you can get plan B as soon as you start having sex regardless. Some states you can get it at the pharmacy some you cant. call a local pharmacy to find out. If you need plan be and you live in an awful state where you cant get it at a pharmacy go to Planned Parenthood. They charge on a sliding scale based on income. Teens and adults can get it unlike other posters are claiming

Plan B is now an over-the-counter drug if you are over 18. Under 18 still need a prescription. As long as you are old enough, all you need to do is ask for it.

If you are Canadian you should have no problem getting Plan B from your pharmacist. Just be prepared to pay around 40$.

Yup, Plan B became OTC in November. Just come up to the counter and ask. However, it is not cheap for an OTC. It'll cost over $40 per packet.

yes, it is true...sometimes. Some pharmacists still require a prescription and some just plain won't give it out. but technically, you don't need a prescription for plan b

No. You have to be younger than 18 to get Plan B.
It's made for teens who had unprotected sex and need help FAST. It really screws up your hormones and your body for quite a while, so it's not for the faint of heart.
By the time a teen would admit to a doctor that she had unprotected sex, it would be too late for Plan B.
Personally I think it's a step in the right direction. In a perfect world teens who have sex would be on the pill. In an imperfect world where teens are scared of talking to their parents and/or doctors about the pill, the Plan B is a viable solution.

A smear marketing campaign by the a good distance suited led to the well-known public to confuse it with the RU-486 abortion pill. between the main sensible and deceptive tries at incorrect information I definitely have ever considered.

That is only available in certain states. It is NOT a birth control...so if you have that problem, you need to see a doc anyway to get on some form of birth control to prevent a future situation such as this. Good luck!

yes, that is true. in the united states the plan b pill is legal without a prescription if you are 18 or older.
