ACCORDING TO A SURVERY conducted by the Irish Pharmacy Union (IPU), 85 per cent of pharmacists say they have been asked for the morning after pill since it became an over-the-counter drug in mid-February 2011.
That represents more than two requests for the drug a week.
The average age of those buying the emergency contraception is 23 years, the Examiner reports, while the age of patients who requested the drug ranged from 16 years to 40, according to RTÉ.
The IPU had joined calls for the drug to be made available without prescription last year, saying that pharmacists have “the skills and competencies to dispense hormonal contraceptives and provide appropriate advice and counselling to such patients”. The Irish Medicines Boards gave its approval for one particular brand of the drug to be made available without prescription from 16 February 2011.
Two hundred pharmacies participated in the survey.

Israel are bullies simple as that.
Absolutely agree – your comment is very simple…
Steven,
that conflict will never be end simply because the Zionist want it to be continuo to allow them control the world and to abuse america and Europe for more hundred years, the Israeli and Zionist are guiding the USA to a trap hell every few years they create war after war simply because that kind of people can not live without conflicts and unrest
Empty words, prospect of peace with a multitude of preconditions. It seems to me that both sides enjoy being in a peace process, but neither wants it to come to fruition. It’s sort of like organized, controlled war. Mad.
As a Zionist, I can assure the previous writer that the “control of the world” figures nowhere in Zionism, our concern is the control, under G-d of the land given us by Him (Baruch HaShem). perhaps he should consider who does wish to control the world, the activity of Islamic Fundamentalists in every part of the world would respectfully suggest that it is the Islamic enemies of Zionism that wish to control the world. Perhaps the gentleman would get his facts clear before posting again.
Frank Faldo “Israel are bullies”, how do you justify that. It is not the Israelis who daily target innocent men women and children with rocket attacks, rather it is the enemies of Israel in Hamas and Islamic Jihad, who launch rocket attacks against Israeli people, military and civillian, men women and children alike. Israel only reacts to acts of terrorism and where possible, ensures that no non terrorist victims.
have your say
