Birth control pills changing to prescription only

(1/6) > >>

tsudopnem:
To all the ladies in Korea, it looks as though birth control pills will be classified as prescription only as of July, while the morning-after pill will be readily available at pharmacies without a doctor's visit.

Stock up. I bought a year's supply in the past 2 days, and plan on buying another year and a half's worth (the expiration date is Dec of 2014, so I'd rather get as many as possible now) within the next couple of days.

swissmiss:
Thanks for the heads up.  Does anyone know what to expect when the Pill is prescription only?  Are prices going to increase?  Will any general dr be able to supply a prescription?

Melissa:
Thanks for posting this.  How many packs can you buy at once?

swissmiss:
I was just able to buy 5 in one go. 

squid:
Man, I thought you'd be able to get them prescription free for the rest of the year. Off to the pharmacy now then ...
