In the U.S., progestin-only EC is available on the shelf without age restrictions to women and men. Look for Plan B One-Step, Take Action, Next Choice One-Dose, My Way or other generics in the family planning aisle.

My Way

 

The My Way label says to take one white pill within 72 hours after unprotected sex. This dose contains 1.5 mg of levonorgestrel. 

 

However, recent research indicates that it can be taken up to 120 hours after unprotected sex. The pill is more effective the sooner it is taken, so take My Way as soon as possible after unprotected intercourse. My Way is approved for sale directly on the shelf without age restrictions; that means women and men of any age can purchase the product without needing to show ID.
