Which emergency contraceptive pill is available both by prescription and over the counter?

  1. Ulipristal

  2. Levonorgestrel

  3. Mifepristone

  4. Ethinylestradiol

The correct answer is: Levonorgestrel

The other options, ulipristal, mifepristone, and ethinylestradiol, are all medications used for other purposes and are not available as emergency contraceptive pills. Levonorgestrel, on the other hand, is commonly known as the "morning-after pill" and is available in both prescription and over-the-counter forms. It is a safe and effective option for preventing unintended pregnancy after unprotected sexual intercourse or birth control failure. While ulipristal has been approved by the FDA for use as an emergency contraceptive, it is only available by prescription. Therefore, levonorgestrel is the only option listed that is available both by prescription and over the counter.
