Emergency Contraception: A Practitioner's Guide

Many doctors have questions about the FDA regulations that make emergency contraception available over the counter. How will increased access to emergency contraception affect contraceptive use in the United States? What does a patient need to do in order to get EC at her pharmacy? What side effects might a patient experience on this medication, and whom can she ask for inormation?

To help answer these and other questions about EC, PRCH has fully revised our publication “Emergency Contraception: A Practitioner’s Guide.” Included in the guide is information about the FDA’s decision, including the age restrictions for nonprescription access, identification requirements, and health insurance coverage.
