What statement is true regarding the sale of emergency contraception?

The statement regarding the sale of emergency contraception being available over-the-counter (OTC) without age restrictions is accurate. This means that individuals can purchase emergency contraceptive pills without needing a prescription or having to go through a healthcare provider. This availability aims to improve access to emergency contraception, enabling individuals to take necessary preventive action after unprotected intercourse or contraceptive failure without barriers related to age or prescription requirements.

Many emergency contraception options, such as levonorgestrel (Plan B One-Step) and ulipristal acetate (Ella), are commonly found on pharmacy shelves and can be obtained by anyone, regardless of age. This approach promotes reproductive autonomy and helps ensure that individuals have timely access to necessary care.

The other options suggest limitations on access or require prescriptions which do not reflect the current regulations regarding emergency contraception availability, particularly the ability to obtain it OTC.
