Press Release Body = The FDA has approved Plan B, a high-dose birth control pill
that prevents pregnancy after unprotected sex by stopping ovulation. Plan B
previously available only with prescription, but now it is easily available in any
medical stores but woman still face obstacles to use emergency contraception despite
a government decision.

Some pharmacists will not give it out, whether they do not want to see it on shelves
because of lack of demand and many pharmacies refuse to stock Plan B.

Plan B is effective birth control pill it contains two hormone pills that prevent
pregnancy and are considered most effective when taken soon (with in 72 hours) after
unprotected sex. Plan B is not abortion pill Dr. Ken said. It may stop fertilized
egg from implanting in the uterus. Research has not proved conclusively if that is
the case.

The world's major chain has promised to carry Plan B in all their medical stores.
But a check of small and family owned medical stores showed while most carry
prescription birth control pill, which does not means that they are going for Plan B
their preference may be some other birth control pill.

People those who live in rural areas particularly those in more undeveloped areas,
said they have no plans top get it. Many medical stores does not have plan B birth
control pill and that if a woman came in looking for the pills, she would not know
where to refer her.

Plan B can reduce a chance of pregnancy by 89 percent if taken with in 72 hours
after unprotected sex. Normally eight in hundred women have unprotected sex near
ovulation may get pregnant, but the woman's those who are using Plan b only one
would pregnant said Dr Bills.

Depending on the brand of contraceptive use woman can achieve the same effect taking
a large number of their own birth control pill in the right quantity and at the
right time, a step that could see them taking many as 40 pills over two days. Plan B
is required to take two tablets, 12 hours apart.

The regulation on Plan B that those under 18 still needs a prescription, may make
the product seem controversial to pharmacists. Other may not understand the
difference between Plan B and other medication that induces an abortion, said Agnes.
