What is the age requirement for males to purchase Plan B over the counter with a Photo ID?

The correct age requirement for males to purchase Plan B over the counter is 18 years old. This aligns with federal regulations regarding over-the-counter access to emergency contraception. The FDA has established that individuals aged 18 and older can buy Plan B without a prescription or special requirements, such as a parental consent. This means that a photo ID is necessary to confirm age for the purchase, ensuring that the regulations are upheld.

Other age options, such as 16 and 17, do not fulfill the current federal guidelines, which require purchasers to be at least 18 years old to ensure equitable access while maintaining safe dispensing practices. This regulation underscores the importance of age verification and the legal framework surrounding access to emergency contraceptive options.
