    Pharmacies are deterring teens from Plan B by using incorrect information.

  • 00:05

    We’re calling them out on this episode of InsidersHealth News.

  • 00:23

    A study by Dr. Tracy Wilkenson of The Boston Medical Center at Boston University school

  • 00:28

    of medicine has shown exactly what he feared: that the real world availability of Plan B

  • 00:34

    and other emergency contraception drugs is not holding up like it should.

  • 00:39

    In fact, in turns out that almost 20% of 17 year olds were told by pharmacies that they

  • 00:44

    couldn’t get the medication at all.

  • 00:47

    This study, performed in 5 major U.S. cities, gathered data by calling pharmacies to inquire

  • 00:52

    about Plan B, first as a 17 year old woman and then as her doctor.

  • 00:58

    The disparity between the answers they got was staggering.

  • 01:01

    For those 20% of women that were told it was unavailable, only 3% of the doctors were given

  • 01:07

    the same information.

  • 01:09

    Even worse, the teen caller would then ask if there was an age rule and the pharmacy

  • 01:13

    employees answered incorrectly 43% of the time.

  • 01:18

    While it is a controversial topic, the law is on the side of those young women.

  • 01:22

    Seventeen and older can purchase the product without a prescription.

  • 01:26

    The biggest concern is that such a young age hearing “no” from anyone will act as a

  • 01:31

    permanent deterrent.

  • 01:33

    The likelihood of a 17 year old teen canvassing pharmacies across the area for Plan B is extremely

  • 01:38

    low, so accurate and helpful information is a must.

  • 01:43

    And regardless of the issues that contraception deals with, pharmacists need to be up to speed

  • 01:47

    with the correct information.

  • 01:49

    Also, proponents of the over-the-counter morning-after pill say that using this emergency contraception

  • 01:54

    could prevent HALF of all unplanned teen pregnancies in the U.S., a large number considering the

  • 02:01

    nearly 750,000 girls ages 15-19 that become pregnant.

  • 02:07

    And of those hundreds of thousands of pregnancies about 85% are unplanned.

  • 02:13

    Wilkenson hopes that this study will instigate some sort of change across the board and bring

  • 02:17

    in new policies because as long as the law allows an over-the-counter choice for these

  • 02:22

    young women, the pharmacies should create a helpful and trusting environment.

  • 02:28

    But you know us!

  • 02:29

    We want to hear what you think about the issue.

  • 02:31

    Agree?

  • 02:32

    Disagree?

  • 02:33

    Agree to disagree?

  • 02:34

    I welcome you to comment below.

    I know I always tell you to think “outside the box” but the comment box doesn’t count.
