US pharmacies reportedly set purchase limit on emergency contraception pills

Walmart, CVS and Rite Aid - as well as Amazon - have all set caps on the number of morning-after pills people can purchase

Pharmacy companies such as Walmart, CVS and Rite Aid are reportedly putting a cap on the number of morning-after birth control pills each consumer can buy in the US, in the wake of the supreme court's decision overturning Roe v Wade.

Meanwhile, online shopping giant Amazon has placed a temporary purchase limit of three units a week on emergency contraception pills, the company said.
