Question

If I'm 15 do I need a prescription or any sort of thing to buy the 72 hour pill? ?

Answer 1

This depends hugely on which country you're in.

In the UK I believe most pharmacies that offer emergency contraception sell over the counter to under 16s. Some have it free for those under 18 or 21. A pharmacy can refuse to serve you emergency contraception as a matter of their feelings about the ethicality of the pill, but they must tell you the next nearest place where you could obtain it.

Even places like Boots pharmacies do emergancy contraception these days.  

Answer 2

If you're under 18, you need to go to a clinic and get a prescription.

Answer 3

Yeah you do

Answer 4

In Canada you can just go to the pharmacy and purchase it... you do not need a prescription. (don't know about other countries though)

Answer 5

You have to be 18. I just had a friend get it for me. You go to a local pharmacy and ask. Sometimes they wont give it to you and you have to try others. My suggestion is go to a clinic. :) good luck
