In Albania, emergency contraceptive pills are available, but a prescription is required by law.

You can find emergency contraceptive pills at pharmacies or programs affiliated with the International Planned Parenthood Foundation.<ref>[https://www.cecinfo.org/country-by-country-information/status-availability-database/countries/COUNTRY/  EC Status and Availability - COUNTRY]</ref>
In Albania, emergency contraceptive pills are available, and a prescription is technically required by law.<ref>[https://www.cecinfo.org/country-by-country-information/status-availability-database/countries/COUNTRY/  EC Status and Availability - COUNTRY]</ref>

From 2008-09, it was estimated that about 2.4% of Albanian women had ever used emergency contraceptive pills, and about 28% of women of reproductive age had knowledge of emergency contraception.<ref>[https://www.cecinfo.org/country-by-country-information/status-availability-database/countries/COUNTRY/  EC Status and Availability - COUNTRY]</ref>

* In Albania, emergency contraceptive pills are available, and you can informally purchase them over-the-counter. While the law technically requires that you get a prescription in advance, this doesn't seem to be widely enforced. This means that you should be able to walk into a pharmacy and purchase emergency contraceptive pills, regardless of whether you have a prescription.
