Published in the February 2007 Alabama State Board of Pharmacy Newsletter

The United States Food and Drug Administration approved Plan B® for sale to customers 18 years of age or older without a prescription in August 2006. Distribution of the over-the-counter formulation began in November 2006. Alabama pharmacists have the right to refuse to fill any prescription; however, if there is a customer in need of Plan B and your pharmacy has chosen not to carry the product, there should be a concerted effort to let the customer know where this product may be obtained to ensure the delivery of complete pharmaceutical service to the community.
