Ministry of Health: Morning-after pill “ellaOne” only on prescription

Konstanty Radziwiłł, the Minister of Health in Poland, has announced that the morning-after pill “ellaOne” will only be available on prescription. According to Radziwiłł, all emergency contraceptive pills (ECPs), which have a powerful effect, are potentially dangerous, and therefore may not be available without a prescription. In January 2015, the decision to allow the sale of the pill without a prescription was made. After that, in April 2015, it was decided “ellaOne” would be available over-the-counter for consumers over the age of 15.
