In Japan, the morning-after pill requires a prescription from a doctor. Coming from the US, where the morning-after pill is OTC, this was a huge shock to me when I first came to Japan. It still makes no sense to me-- in my experience, the doctor's visit for plan B is only a formality: No medical tests, just a few short questions and then a signed paper. Is it really necessary to make us sit through one, two, or three days of anxiety as we wait for an appointment, just for that? Anyway, if you agree that this is a bullshit rule, hit the link in bio to sign a petition for OTC morning-after pill. And would love to hear about all of your experiences in the comments. 💪⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ #緊急避妊薬を薬局で
