morning after pill-where can dd's friend get it today?

[brimfull]

she doesn't want to tell her mum

Boots.

Or she can ring NHS direct and ask for the nearest open chemist.

She should be aware that it's about £25!

can she buy over the counter?

even on bank holiday?

If you can't find a chemist open A&E is the best option or a walk in centre.

here is more info.

hth

aaah dd just said she's still 15

will she still beable to get it without her mum

Phone your out of hours doctors service, they can advise as to best plan of action. My one has a sexual health clinic as part of set up for just such occasions, and age should not make a difference I would have thought.

It depends on the area, apparently most PCTs have authorised chemists to dispense the MAP to under-16s but not all.

Brook are a very good source of advice and info for under-25s.

Very important that she gets hold of it asap as it's not as efficient after 24 hours.

thanks all

she phoned nhs direct and they've directed her to a pharmacy where she can get it for free

she is trying to get the boy to drive her there as it's about 20 miles away

he bloody well should drive her there.

A good line is

"YOu spend the petrol and drive me there, or in 9 months you can start coughing up 15% of your salary for the next 19 years. Your choice."

Good that she can get it for free too.

tesco.

agree with smugcolditz he bloody well should drive her there

yes

if he answers his damn phone

I said she should call his parents and tell them she needs a lift.

yes, that would be a good plan. call his parents. Or call one of his friends and inform them of her intention to call his parents.

In an emergency, could you take her? Not ideal, but she really needs that pill!

i could but hopefully won't have to

how did it go ggirl?

she managed to get the pill at boots -
free to under 18's

so all sorted
thanks for all your help

excellent hope she's ok
