The drug is not available on the GMS scheme and therefore the cost cannot be reimbursed either to the pharmacist or the GP. Therefore, it is not covered by the medical card. One emergency contraceptive is covered by the GMS scheme and one does need a prescription for it. Anyone with a medical card can avail of that.
