You Will No Longer Be Able To Buy Birth Control Without A Prescription In Dubai

A new measure will mean women cannot purchase birth control over the counter at pharmacies in Dubai.

The measure will take effect soon, according to a post in Gulf Business and health authorities will carry out inspections on pharmacies around the Emirate to ensure they are not violating the new measure.

It is common in many countries to ask for a prescription to obtain a contraceptive pill due to the varied side effects associated with the numerous pill options.

Sex is prohibited outside of marriage in the UAE so it’s illegal for unmarried women to obtain prescription pills for contraceptive needs.
