Emergency contraception from Nurx costs as little as $0 with insurance or $45 per pill without insurance.
Anyone can buy the morning-after pill regardless of age. It is available on store shelves at most local pharmacies and major retailers, as well as online.
What Is the Morning-After Pill?
The morning-after pill is a type of emergency contraception that helps to prevent pregnancy after having unprotected sex. The term was originally used to describe Plan B One-Step, a well-known brand of emergency contraception. However, it has since been extended to include similar pills like Ella and New Day.
Morning-After Pill Age Restrictions
There are no age restrictions for progestin-only morning-after pills, including:
- Plan B One-Step
- New Day
- Take Action
- Aftera
- My Way
The FDA first approved Plan B One-Step for over-the-counter sale with no age restrictions in June 2013. Later, the generic versions of the pill (Take Action, Aftera, and My Way) were also approved for over-the-counter sale to people of any age. If the packaging on one of these products states that it is only available for women ages 17 and older, it is not correct.
Some forms of the morning-after pill that do not include progestin-only formulas, like Ella, are available by prescription only.
How to Buy the Morning-After Pill
The morning-after pill is available at most local pharmacies and drugstores. You can also get it from major retailers like Target, Walmart, Rite Aid, Walgreens, and CVS. These types of progestin-only emergency contraception are available on store shelves in the family planning aisle or online.
If you want to discreetly stock up on emergency contraception for future use or if you need it right away, you can request the morning after pill from Nurx. We offer options for over-the-counter and prescription emergency contraception, with or without insurance.
