In Italy, you can purchase two emergency contraceptive types (morning after pills) without a prescription. LNG EC (like Escapelle and NorLevo 1.5mg) and UPA EC (like ellaOne) are now available over-the-counter from pharmacies for women who are 18 years of age or older. If you want LNG EC, you must get it from a physician (not a pharmacist). If you want UPA EC, you must go to a pharmacy and specifically ask the pharmacy clerk for it, since it's not on the shelves. Also, if you're under 18 years old, you'll still need a prescription to purchase them. However, for all other EC brands, you do need a prescription.<ref>[http://www.ec-ec.org/emergency-contraception-in-europe/country-by-country-information-2/italy/#pub1 European Consortium for Emergency Contraception - Italy]</ref>  
En Italie, vous pouvez acheter deux pilules du lendemain sans ordonnance. LNG EC (comme Escapelle ou Norlevo 1.5mg) et UPA (comme ellaOne) sont maintenant disponibles au comptoir des pharmacies pour les femmes âgées d'au moins 18ans. Si vous voulez LNG EC, vous devrez l'obtenir chez un medecin (pas un pharmacien). Si vous voulez UPA EC, vous devez aller dans une pharmacie et spécifiquement demander au personnel de la pharmacie, car elle n'est pas en rayon. Aussi, si vous avez moins de 18ans, vous aurez besoin d'une ordonnance pour les acheter. En tous cas, vous devrez avoir une ordonnance pour toutes les marques d'EC. <ref>[http://www.ec-ec.org/emergency-contraception-in-europe/country-by-country-information-2/italy/#pub1 European Consortium for Emergency Contraception - Italy]</ref>  


This is a major improvement over past Italian laws, when all EC required a prescription. This caused much distress for women in the past, and you can read a personal account a foreign student's difficulties trying to access EC in the past [http://www.xojane.com/it-happened-to-me/i-was-refused-emergency-contraception-in-italy here]. Fortunately, since April 2015, UPA EC has been available over-the-counter, and since October 2015, LNG EC has been available over-the-counter.
