* If you want birth control pills, you can purchase them at pharmacies without a prescription. Some of the brands you can expect to see are FMP, Anna and Microgynon ED. One of the most common brands is called OK. As reported in the Phnom Penh Post, "Watson says many of her wealthier clients don't trust the OK pill and condom because it is so cheap. But the pills and condoms are heavily subsidised and quality-controlled by Population Services International, a global health NGO, who target the OK brand at poor women. According to Watson the OK pill is the same as a very popular pill called Microgynan, currently prescribed to 70 percent of women in the UK."<ref>[http://www.phnompenhpost.com/post-plus/your-guide-womens-health-cambodia Your guide to women's health in Cambodia]</ref> | |||
