Beginning May 18, 2026, licensed pharmacists at hospitals or state‑permitted pharmacies can provide hormonal birth control. They can dispense pills, patches, and rings, and can give injectable hormonal contraceptives. Service must follow a prescriber’s standing order, or the joint protocol the medical and pharmacy boards issue. Under that protocol, it can occur with or without a standing order. You must be 18 or older. If under 18, you need proof of a prior prescription for a self‑administered or injectable hormonal contraceptive. IUDs and any drug to end a pregnancy are not included. Pharmacists must act in good faith and use reasonable care.
