Do some states offer patients pharmacy access to Plan B®?
Plan B® is now available without a prescription in the U.S. for consumers age 18 or older, but a prescription is still required for women under 17 and younger. Pharmacists in Alaska, California, Hawaii, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Mexico, Vermont, and Washington can become certified and trained to provide Plan B® directly to patients under 17 and younger. The requirements for pharmacy access vary from state to state.
