Which oral emergency contraceptive does the purchaser need to be 17 y/o or older?

Access to emergency contraception varies by regulatory status and how the product is dispensed. Among the options, the two-tablet levonorgestrel regimens are the ones that historically require age verification, with the purchaser needing to be at least 17 years old. The single-tablet levonorgestrel product is typically available OTC without an age limit, ulipristal is prescription-only in the U.S., and mifepristone is a prescription abortion medication, not an emergency contraceptive. So the two-tablet levonorgestrel formulation is the one that requires the purchaser to be 17 or older.
