Where are there facts on what this RU40 pill really does to those who use it? Are there any facts out there about those who use it multiple times? How safe is this?? I am doing a paper on this for American Government and want more info.
Thanks

My view on this might shock some regular readers but I AGREE this medication should be, at least initially, OK’d by a licensed physician, FOR ALL WOMEN of any age.

This stuff isn’t candy. It’s a powerful hormone which has the potential to really screw around with human systems. If I were a woman I’d not be taking ANY drugs without first at least discussing the pros and cons with my doctor.

BUT… once APPROVED by my physician, no licensed pharmacist should be allowed to refuse to sell me the drug. I think pharmacists need to be advised that their function is to DISPENSE LEGALLY PHYSICIAN-PRESCRIBED/APPROVED MEDICATION. Any who wish to refuse to do so should be refused a PUBLIC LICENSE.

Pharmacists who have trouble with this could possibly be issued a RESTRICTED license to dispense in outlets FULLY DISCLOSED to be censoring what their customers can or cannot have according to the pharmacist’s personal views.

I think MAP needs to be as easily accessible as asprin!

plain as that.

What it’s going to encourage is under-the-table entrepreneurial ventures by women over 18.

This should properly be called “behind the counter” since ALL women will be carded for this safe form of birth control.  Many states already have the behind the counter status for all ages (essentially the pharmacist is the prescriber).  So this is more restrictive for under 18 women than what many states have.  The decision puts reproductive control into the hands of pharmacists—some of whom don’t want to dispense the morning-after pill, or birth control pills.  The morning-after pill should be on the shelves, next to aspirin.  The FDA discussed an age restriction of under 16, then under 17, now it’s under 18—what next, menopause?
