Japan allows over-the-counter 'morning after' pill

Japan has approved over-the-counter sales of an emergency contraceptive pill, its manufacturer says, allowing women in the country to take such medication without prescription for the first time. ASKA Pharmaceutical said wider access to the pill would "empower Japanese women in the area of reproductive health". A date for it to go on sale has yet to be announced. The pill will be labelled as "medicine requiring guidance", meaning women must take it in the presence of a pharmacist.
