Morning-After Pill Now Available Over The Counter in NYC

Plan B emergency contraceptive aka the "Morning-After" pill, will finally be available over the counter in NY pharmacies this week, and city officials are providing information about the drug on its 311 telephone information hot line.

Getting approval from officials and citizens nationwide was not an easy task for Barr Pharmaceuticals, a goal that took over 7 yrs to achieve. Plan B is being tagged as a safe and effective way to prevent pregnancy after unprotected sex. Pharmacy's such as Rite-Aid and your local mom & pops should have the drug by the end of the week.
