Can I get a morning after pill at the EMart pharmacy without a prescription?

Really, I dont even know how to ask for it, can I just say "Morning-after pill?"

Go to the doctor and get a prescription, then take it to any pharmacy.

It is no problem or hassle. Though you will get some unproffessional behavior from the pharmacy.

As the last poster said, you need to visit the doctor and get a prescription.

if you are going to be annoying the least you could do is actually be funny.

Prescription is needed. It's called 사후피임약 (sa-hoo-pi-im-yak).

has this been a recent change? I remember over a year ago that you didn't need a prescription. I know this because I had a overly concerned girlfriend at the time and we just went to a pharmacy in sinchon and they gave it to her over the counter with no prescription.
