OBJECTIVES: In developing countries like Pakistan, perilous abortion is a major health threat for women who make numerous attempts for the termination of unintended pregnancy. Community pharmacists (CPs) can act as a conduit between public and their health services. This study explores CPs knowledge, attitudes and practices regarding use of emergency contraceptive pills (ECPs) in Punjab, Pakistan. METHODS: A cross-sectional study was conducted at various pharmacies in three cities of Punjab, Pakistan to evaluate CPs knowledge, attitudes and practices about ECPs use. Data was analyzed by Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 22.0 using various descriptive and inferential statistical tests.   RESULTS: Total 200 CPs were approached and a sample size of 109 (52% response rate) was obtained by convenient sampling method. Inadequate knowledge, strong negative attitudes and misconceptions were exposed. One quarter did not aware that ECPs do not cause abortion. Only a small proportion (27%) were aware about the precise use of ECPs. Interesting finding was that 41% of them believed that specific and particular general practitioners or clinics are the main sources of information about ECPs. Around 12% felt that information about ECPs should not be public. Few of the respondents had never heard of availability ECPs without prescription. CONCLUSIONS: The awareness of ECPs is quite high among CPs in Punjab, Pakistan but with insufficient knowledge, objectionable attitudes and redundant delusions. This study advocates that there is a clear need of accurate and appropriate information and awareness about safe and effective use of ECPs among CPs in Punjab, Pakistan.
