The British government wants to make the “pill afterwards” free of charge in all pharmacies this year. Until now, the hormone tablet for contraception in an emergency in Great Britain is only free from the doctor.
However, some districts arise for the costs. The Labor government under Prime Minister Keir Strandmer hopes to relieve the GPs. Moreover, the previous postcode lottery must be terminated, said Foreign Minister Stephen Kinnock. Free access to safe contraceptives are part of a fair society.
For example, the “pill” can be taken in the case of contraception breakdown to prevent or postpone the mention. To prevent pregnancy, it must be taken in the first three to five days (depending on the preparation) after unprotected sex. In Austria, the hormone tablet is available without a prescription in the pharmacies. The costs in Germany are between around 17 and 40 euros.
