plan b medication experience on a public holiday

hi, just wanted to share our experience in case it helps someone.

my partner is japanese and i’m a foreigner. on 23rd feb (which was a public holiday), our condom broke and we needed to get plan b. stressful was an understatement lmao…!

we live about 45 minutes outside tokyo and the clinics closed earlier yesterday. and because of our bad luck, every pharmacy near us was sold out after calling. japan recently allowed over-the-counter sales for plan b, just seems like stock ran out pretty fast on this particular day.

we ended up finding an online clinic that could deliver emergency contraception (it was madonna) to us for around 12,500 yen. definitely more expensive than we expected, but at that point we just needed it asap.

pill was 8500 yen and the rest were consultation fees + delivery charges.
