Personally, I hope not, but if you are in a scary conundrum involving a need for the pill Plan B, then you are in luck. Plan B will now be available over the counter for ages 15 and older. The pill is used to mitigate or more accurately, reduce the chance of getting pregnant after having sex. It's effectiveness is lost after 72 hours after sexual intercourse. The FDA has made the decision of making the pill Plan B available over the counter and not require a prescription because they feel it would do more good then harm and prevent many unwanted pregnancies. Buyers of the Plan B pill must be 15 years of age and will have their age validated at the register. The proof of age must be government issued. Plan B will be available on shelves near you.
