At what age can emergency contraception be purchased over-the-counter in Minnesota without a prescription?

  1. 16 years old

  2. 17 years old

  3. 18 years old

  4. 21 years old

The correct answer is: 18 years old

In Minnesota, individuals can purchase emergency contraception over-the-counter without a prescription starting at the age of 18. This is in line with federal regulations, as the FDA has approved emergency contraceptive pills for over-the-counter sales to individuals 18 years and older. This means that those under the age of 18 would need a prescription to obtain these medications. The other age options reflect either statutory age limits or misinterpretations of the guidelines surrounding access to emergency contraceptives. Understanding these regulations is crucial for pharmacy practice, as it ensures that pharmacists provide correct information to patients regarding the accessibility of contraceptive options.
