从2005.04.19起, 不需要处方. just visit any pharmacy and ask for emergency contraceptive pill.
Effective April 19, 2005, upon direction from Health Canada, the Plan B emergency contraceptive pill (ECP) will be available without a prescription. (Previously, women have had to get a physician’s prescription before they could get the drug.)
The Ontario Women’s Health Council (OWHC) supports this decision, and is funding a public awareness project, called ECP-INFO Ontario, to be implemented by the Planned Parenthood Federation of Canada.
What is ECP?
An emergency contraceptive pill (ECP) is a hormonal pill that reduces the risk of pregnancy after contraceptive failure or unprotected sex. They are sometimes misleadingly called "morning-after pills." ECPs are effective, however, for up to 72 hours (three days) after unprotected sex. Timely access is important, because the sooner a woman takes ECP, the more effective it is. ECPs are safe for any woman of reproductive age.
Is ECP the same as the abortion pill?
No. ECP has absolutely no effect on an established pregnancy. If a woman is already pregnant, taking ECP will not cause an abortion. Abortion pills are not licensed for sale in Canada.
Before today, how could women get ECP?
Plan B was approved by Health Canada in 2000 for use as an ECP. Federal regulations specified that Plan B was a prescription drug under Schedule F of the Food and Drug Regulations of the Food and Drugs Act, although provincial legislation determined who had the authority to prescribe it. In Ontario, women had to see a physician to get a prescription for ECP.
How can women get ECP now?
Plan B is now a non-prescription drug that will be available "behind the counter." This means that women have to consult with a pharmacist before they can get it. The pharmacist will do an assessment of the woman’s need for the drug, provide information on how to take ECP, and provide further contraceptive counseling or a referral to another health-care provider if needed.
How much will ECP cost?
If obtained at a pharmacy, the cost of ECP will be the wholesale cost plus a mark-up decided by the pharmacy. This mark-up is unregulated. It is up to the pharmacy to decide what price is fair. Some women can also obtain ECP from sexual health clinics and public health units.
What is the ECP-INFO Ontario project?
The ECP-INFO Ontario project, which is funded by the OWHC and implemented by the Planned Parenthood Federation of Canada (PPFC), will increase the public’s awareness of ECP, how it works, and where it can be obtained. It will target youth, parents and health professionals in Ontario.
PPFC currently disseminates information about ECP through brochures, web information, and a telephone hotline. The new project will: update existing material (such as information about ECP on PPFC’s website and the existing ECP hotline) to reflect the ECP regulatory change; create new materials; disseminate information about the existence of the hotline and web page; and evaluate PPFC’s process of disseminating the information and the effectiveness of that information.
