A member asked:

What stores can i buy birth control pills without prescriptions? what do you suggest?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Available OTC: There are some otc products.Spermicides, male and female condoms, the sponge and emergency contraceptives. Since there are significant risks associated with bcp, they are prescription. Used appropriately, the otc products do provide acceptable birth control.
