If you need emergency contraception, time matters. Walk into Acme Drug Mart any time between 9 and 6, Monday to Friday. No appointment. No questions you do not want to answer. Our pharmacist will help you choose the right option, and you walk out with what you need.
Your Options
Plan B (levonorgestrel)
Available over the counter. Most effective when taken within 72 hours of unprotected sex, but can be used up to 5 days after. Works best the sooner you take it. Costs about $40.
ella (ulipristal acetate)
Prescription only — and our pharmacist can prescribe it for you on the spot. More effective than Plan B, especially between days 3 and 5 after unprotected sex, and works better for people with a higher BMI. Costs about $50.
Copper IUD
The most effective form of emergency contraception, more than 99% effective when inserted within 5 days. It also gives you up to 10 years of ongoing birth control. We dispense the IUD and can refer you for same-week insertion at the clinic upstairs.
Privacy Matters
We have a private consultation room. The conversation stays between you and the pharmacist. There is no judgement here, and we will not ask you to explain yourself.
Walk in now — Mon to Fri, 9 to 6. Call (780) 443-0202 if you have questions first.
