We’ve partnered with Julie, an emergency contraception (EC) brand, to ensure more Indiana women have emergency contraception — for free — before they need it.
This program is designed to provide you with the morning-after pill before you need it. If you need the morning-after pill immediately, purchase it over the counter from a local pharmacy. You can find where Julie is sold locally here. If you have questions or need assistance, we are here to help. You can reach out to us now via phone, text or email:

What is Julie?
Julie, your FDA-approved morning after pill, is a progestin-only tablet (1.5mg Levonorgestrel) that helps prevent pregnancy before it starts. Julie is emergency contraception. Whether you’ve had unprotected sex or are worried your regular birth control method didn’t quite do the job, Julie has your back.
Julie is most effective when taken immediately or within 72 hours (approximately three days) after unprotected sex or birth control mishaps. Keep it on hand, ready for when you need it most. Please remember, while Julie is an excellent backup, it’s not a substitute for regular birth control. If you’re in search of a consistent birth control method, PATH4YOU has you covered with free options through virtual or in-person appointments. Julie will not impact your current or future fertility and is not the abortion pill.

Request your Free Morning-After Pills
Fill out the request form below, and your TWO PACKAGES of morning-after pills will be delivered to your doorstep within five business days.
Available to Indiana residents only.
This program is free through a generous donation from Julie and with the financial support of PATH4YOU, which covers the shipping cost. Julie is providing access to Emergency Contraceptive through a philanthropic initiative in which Julie donates one Julie pill for each one purchased in a retail store. Because of this, Julie is available for free to Indiana residents who may have issues getting the morning-after pill on their own, while supplies last.

FAQs
Once you have completed the request form, your order will be filled, and Julie will be shipped to your provided address. To prevent any delays, it’s important that you provide the correct information the first time you fill out the request form. After receiving your order, two Julie pills will be mailed to you within five business days (excluding holidays). You will not hear from anyone unless there is an issue with your provided information.
Julie can be used by anyone who can get pregnant regardless of weight. However, studies have shown that the morning-after pill is more effective for those who weigh less than 165 pounds or have a BMI of less than 25. For those with a BMI over 29.9, the morning-after pill has been shown to be 4% less effective than those with a BMI under 25. If your BMI is over 25 or you weigh more than 165 pounds, Julie may not be the best option for you, but there are other emergency contraception options you can explore here. Contact PATH4YOU if you have any questions
Julie can be mailed to any physical address in Indiana. Julie can be sent to a student mailbox if you are a student in Indiana. Unfortunately, Julie cannot be mailed to a P.O. Box.
The package will not say that Julie is inside. Your name will be on the package, and it will be sent to the address you provide. The package will have a return label from Care Point Pharmacy.
The morning-after pill, like Julie, is 89% effective when taken within 72 hours (or 3 days) after unprotected sex. The golden rule is the sooner you take it, the better it will work.
One thing to note: Weight does impact the effectiveness of the morning-after pill. A few studies have shown that the effectiveness of the morning-after pill does decrease in people who weigh more than 165 pounds or have a body mass index (BMI) over 25. If your BMI is over 25, Julie may not be the best option for you, but there are other options if you have access to a medical provider. Ella® is another type of emergency contraception pill that works more effectively for women with a BMI under 30. Like Julie, it’s a one-time pill but it does require a prescription from your provider. Copper and hormonal IUDs are the most effective form of emergency contraceptive and are not affected by weight at all. However, they do need to be inserted by a healthcare professional up to 5 days after having unprotected sex.
