When I heard about this one the news the other day, I was pretty surprised. I've had to use Plan B in the past, and must say that it would be a great convenience in being able to go to a drugstore, instead of having to call into my consulting nurse, have them call in the prescription, and drive out of my way to the nearest clinic that might be open on that day/night. By making this available OTC, it would help in the timeliness of taking the pill...and we all know that its effectiveness is best withing 72 hours.
Its hard to really make this assumption, but I don't think that this product will be used as a substitution of other forms of birth control, simply because it generally gives the person taking it a bit of an upset stomach...which many people would rather avoid.
