Contraception

Emergency contraception

If you’ve had unprotected intercourse and are concerned about an unintended pregnancy, come to UHS for emergency contraception (EC). The UHS Pharmacy offers Plan B, one type of EC.

Although Plan B has been shown to have some effectiveness for up to five days or 120 hours after unprotected sex, the earlier it is taken, the more effective it is.

Women 18 and over may obtain Plan B without a prescription; it's available with a prescription for women 17 and younger. Talk with your healthcare provider or a UHS pharmacist about dispensing options that may save you money.

Plan B is available at Walk-in Care, as an anticipatory prescription from your provider, and from the UHS Pharmacy.

Condoms & spermicide

The UHS Pharmacy stocks spermicides, and a wide range of condoms, some priced as low as 3 for $1. Stop in, or save time by downloading and completing an order form.

Bring the completed form with you to the UHS Pharmacy.
