Morning After Pill Pharmacy survey. When you are in a superstore or pharmacy, ask the pharmacist if they have Plan B (should be yes), if you need a prescription (should be no if you are over 18), and how much it costs. If you are older, it is OK to say you are checking for a daughter or granddaughter. Report positive/negative experiences to npbcnow@aol.com with location, day and time. We will give awards to supportive pharmacies.
