For your body and your future Morning-after pill
Now available at local pharmacies and drugstores.

I believe that making the Emergency Contraceptive Pill available over the counter is an important step in preventing unintended pregnancies. It also empowers women to make choices about their own future — whether or not to have children, and when to have them. As both a woman and an obstetrician-gynecologist who supports women’s health, I find it deeply reassuring that women can have this option close at hand.

Making the Emergency Contraceptive Pill available over the counter is an important step toward protecting women’s health and rights. I hope it will help reduce the number of women experiencing anxiety related to unintended pregnancy. At the same time, misconceptions and limited knowledge about contraception still remain, both online and in medical settings. As access to emergency contraception improves, it is equally important to provide accurate information, including proper timing for taking the medication and reliable contraceptive methods for regular use. I strongly hope this will be a step toward everyone — including men — developing a deeper understanding of contraception and genuinely engaging with the topic.
