It’s called plan B in the US? We call it “the morning-after pill” where I live. I think it’s a bit more self-explanatory.
It’s also referred to as the morning after pill. IIRC Plan-B was a brand name.
Back in my day we called it RU-486. Always reminded me of a Russian computerized submarine.
That is for an abortion, not for preventing a pregnancy from occurring. The difference is insanely and stupidly important for religious fascists.
I raise you “anti-baby-pill” from Germany.
Edit: anti-baby-pill refers to contraceptive pill.
Really? That’s a bit too… intense. I propose “postpone-baby-pill” or “baby-no-thanks-pill”.
Six dollars?
Why have I been paying three hundred for them?
You know, theoretically, it is possible to order the raw pharmaceutical ingredients to make Plan B, in bulk, directly from overseas manufacturers who don’t ask too many questions. For three hundred you could order enough raw ingredients to make enough doses that you could measurably alter the birth rate of a small nation state.

Still a more affordable hobby than Warhammer 40k 🤷
Well, I didn’t mean it quite that way. But if you want to compound your own Plan B, I looked into it once, and for a few hundred dollars you could make thousands of doses. And the raw active ingredients, if vacuum sealed and stored in a freezer, will last nearly indefinitely.
Sadly this is no longer true of Costco where I live. You now need a membership to use their pharmacy in at least my part of the US.
Edit: See below, sounds like I was wrong
Most front end employees do not know that federal regulations supersede their authority. Politely ask to see a manager.
Pharmacies are regulated by the FDA (for now anyway. Who knows what things will look like a month from now) and pharmacies cannot bar customers from using their services.
Oh shit, thank you for letting me know. I’ll look into this more closely and start advising people of this info. I appreciate it!
You’re welcome! Just remember to be polite.
Costco pays better than most retailers but they still aren’t paid to be lawyers. They are likely not aware of the regulation or even their corporate policies on who gets waved through.
Iirc alcohol are the same, though often controlled at the state level so maybe different between states. Some states have regulations on warehouse memberships not being required for purchases.
You can order from Costco online with no prescription or membership. You’re welcome.
In New York, it’s just on the store shelf. They sell it at target. Although, you do need to have an employee unlock it for you.
I was also surprised at how cheap it is.
