Private Requests for Plan B

August 31, 2007

Via NCPA

Pharmacists and their staffs may start being handed “Patient Request Cards” from women seeking Plan B. The cards can be torn out of the September issue of Glamour magazine so women can request the drug in a private manner.

The card includes important facts about emergency contraception. The cards should not be collected.

    Doesn’t this suggest that they can’t always request a medication in a private manor? I mean, I don’t go yelling, “Hey, RPh, this patient wants some Plan B!” Pretty soon we’re not going to be allowed to say anything aloud for fear of violating the patient’s privacy.

    It would seem that way. I was just passing along an article.

    Even though a patients privacy is always a big concern… I would think something like Plan B requires extra discretion and concern. The more comfortable we can make a patient feel about getting plan b quickly and quietly the better. thats the whole reason you can buy it without an rx in the first place.

Got something to say?
