For those of you who don't know
plan B now comes as a single tablet. I guess the makers figured that if you weren't responsible enough to wear a condom, or use birth control pills in the first place, you aren't responsible enough to remember to take the second tablet the next day.
The thing that makes plan B so awesome from a pharmacy perspective is that in order to buy it you have to ask for it at the pharmacy counter. This leads to some very interesting incidents. And this is beyond the knowledge that if you hit on the girl at least she puts out.
The first plan B I ever sold to someone was actually to a couple. What made it awesome is that the girl made her boyfriend pay for it. Which is funny on many levels, not the least of which is that you know who it was that wanted to get freaky the night before.
The pharmacy that I interned at is in a small town and another couple came through the drive thru in order to buy a pack of plan B. The technician that waited on them not only knew the guy driving, she also knew his parents, went to the same church as his family and he dated her daughter a few years ago. If this isn't going to encourage the poor guy to use protection in the future I don't know what will. Forget all the scare tactics that are used to try and get kids to not have sex, just have something like this happen to them. The poor guy might not be able to get an erection again for the next several months.
I do have a rant on pharmacists that refuse to dispense plan B and other such medications I may post at some point in the future when I've had a bit more to drink.
