Emergency Contraception (Defeated Resolution No. 100-12-04)
Resolution No. 100-12-04
Title: Emergency Contraception
Action: Defeated
Whereas, the use of emergency contraception is becoming more prevalent; and
Whereas, some pharmacists are reluctant to dispense prescriptions for such products due to ethical, moral, or religious considerations; and
Whereas, patients have the right to make decisions regarding their health care;
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that NABP recommends that if a pharmacist refuses to fill a prescription for emergency contraception on ethical, moral, or religious grounds, it is the responsibility of that pharmacist to direct the patient to another pharmacist or pharmacy where such a prescription can be dispensed in a timely manner.
(Resolution defeated at NABP’s 100th Annual Meeting, Chicago, IL)
