Friendly reminder in light of the times from your neighborhood pharmacy technician:
If you are purchasing plan b/emergency contraceptive to have for yourself or for others to have on standby please consider ordering online. Please keep in mind expiration dates etc but by purchasing online you are still allowing those who need it NOW to have the ability to access it.
We have seen alot of manufacturing and supply chain disruptions that we are still experiencing with every day medications and these products could be next. This doesn’t mean to stock pile and hoard but to prepare for future possibilities. An increase in demand could entail shortages as well as prices rising.
More affordable generics of the brand name are typically identical and you can find this information on the back of all medication packaging.
The brand Plan B offers a rebate/coupon that can be found online through their website!
Last tip: emergency contraceptive is considered a high theft item by most all stores/pharmacies which is why they include an anti theft sensor that is triggered at the door detectors, have your receipt ready should it be asked for
Having worked 5/2/22 and 5/3/22 the increase of concern for this information has spiked measurably in the last 24 hours. I hope this can help someone in need and I am happy to answer relevant questions that I feel capable addressing
