You
do not need a prescription in order to get Plan B (the morning after-pill)! Yes it's true, and it's been that way for about 3 years now in Canada. To many people though, this might still come as a surprise! The problem is, people tend to get confuse between birth control pills (which you do need a prescription for) and Plan B pills! You can now get Plan B over the counter in pharmacies! You can walk right into Shoppers Drug Mart or any other pharmacy and just pick up Plan B from the shelf. It is a bit pricey just to let you know, it's about $38 at Shoppers! But don't let the packaging fool you though, the box might look big but really there's only two small pills inside!
