Mystery caller study on emergency contraception in Germany!
Researchers examined immediate availability, pricing, and counseling aspects of oral emergency contraception in Berlin pharmacies.
Results included:
✅ Ulipristal acetate prices ranged from €15.95 to €42.95 (median €35.00)
✅ Levonorgestrel prices ranged from €10.60 to €32.49 (median €22.00)
Great access, but high price ranges pose challenges. A comparison app could help minimize costs. Pharmacy staff training is essential for providing “adequate” counseling.
