(Morning After Pill)
Each of us face difficult moments and choices in our lives. While it may not be the right choice for all people in all situations, Emergency Contraception (EC) is an option that students may access if they feel that EC is the correct individual personal choice. Emergency Contraception is available over-the-counter at many pharmacies. The approximate cost is $35.00. EC is available at most of the local pharmacies and at other 24 hour pharmacies in the area. You must request EC at the pharmacy counter and provide proof of age with picture ID (drivers license, school ID etc.). Emergency Contraception can be used if you have unprotected sex and don’t want to become pregnant. It should not be used instead of birth control on a routine basis. Regular use of a birth control method (such as condoms or birth control pills) is more effective. You may need Emergency Contraception if:
Albion College will provide
