Kroger Response to Emergency Contraception
ATLANTA, March 9 (HSMN NewsFeed) -- The Kroger Co. believes that medications are a private patient matter. Our role as a retail pharmacy operator is to furnish medication using applicable professional standards in accordance with a doctor's prescription or as requested by a customer.The Kroger Co. began carrying dual label OTC Plan-B in November of 2006, when the FDA approved it. It is our policy to carry the product in all of our stores.
If, for whatever reason, an individual pharmacist objects to furnishing this or any other medication, our policy is to find a way to accommodate the customer.
We are taking additional steps to make certain that all of our pharmacy teams have a clear understanding of this policy.
