A: At present, men of any age and women age 15 and older may purchase Plan B OTC . It is very possible a sexual predator could buy Plan B to cover up and hide one or numerous instances of underage statutory rape or incest. This current FDA policy is be contested in a variety of lawsuits before Judge Edward Korman of NYC and the O'Bama Regime. PFLI's policy is to oppose drugs like Plan B because they are chiefly abortifacients, can be used to cover up crimes of rape, incest and sexual slavery; and have long term negative consquences that are not well studied in young women. Other similar high dose steroids have been shown to have serious health dangers for women up to and including stroke, heart attack, various cancers and death.

A: At present, patients may obtain Plan B OTC at the pharmacy counter; it can also be bought OTC where it is so stocked. Plan B OTC may not be available in places that do not have a licensed pharmacist or prescriber at the facility (i.e. gas stations, convenience stores, food marts, etc.).

A: Yes. Plan B OTC may be available at other healthcare facilities such as clinics.

A: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) mandates that a healthcare professional (e.g. pharmacist or prescriber) be available to answer questions or address any concerns that the patient may have about Plan B OTC. Individual pharmacy practice will determine which staff members (e.g. pharmacists, pharmacy technicians, student pharmacists) will be allowed to sell the medication. It is possible an unqualified non-licensed staff member may end up dispensing this potent abortifacient steroid without any knowledge of medical or drug history and conditions of the end user. Currently OTC and/or Rx placement is being contested in various courts [as of 5/10/13].

A: The FDA has not issued specific guidelines regarding proof of age. However, the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) recently published a list of acceptable forms of ID for another drug product. Pharmacies may decide to follow these same guidelines, which include driver’s licenses, passports, and school ID’s. The complete DEA list is provided at the end of this document.

A: No known monitoring of age is uniformly in place in all states. Pharmacists of conscience are encouraged to monitor area pharmacies and to report instances of non-compliance to their respective board of pharmacy and/or the FDA.

A: It is possible and very liekly. Many states have enacted statutes to prohibit the sale of medications that have an abuse potential or that are harmful to the health of the patient. As well some states, based on the recent scandal of Planned Parenthood centers not reporting cases of statutory rape and incest in KS, IN and OH, may lead to more restriction to protect underage girls from sexual predators. It is too early to know whether the states will use this authority.
