Pharmacy Visit Tracking Thank you for visiting your pharmacy as part of the Illinois Choice Action Team's Pharmacy Campaign. With your help, we are gathering needed information to make sure that Illinois pharmacies are taking advantage of the new over-the-counter status of emergency contraception (Plan B) and posting state-mandated signs informing shoppers of their right to prescription birth control. Your actions will help ensure that the women of Illinois can take advantage of their guaranteed access to birth control and prevent unintended pregnancies.
Information about the state-mandated sign The sign that you are looking for is required to be clearly printed on paper at least 8.5 x 11 inches and posted near the intake (drop-off) counter of each licensed Illinois pharmacy. The following is the text that should appear on the sign:
If this pharmacy dispenses prescription contraceptives, then you have the following rights under Illinois law:
The pharmacy must dispense your prescribed contraceptives without delay.
When your contraceptive is out of stock, you have the following options: the pharmacy must cooperate with your doctor to determine a suitable alternative, order the contraceptive, or transfer the prescription to another pharmacy of your choice.
You can instruct the pharmacy to return the prescription to you at any time.
If you have questions about your rights or wish to file a complaint, please call the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation at 800-280-4149 or visit www.contraceptives.illinois.gov.
