Escapelle is a prescription drug, so you will need a doctor's prescription to buy it at a pharmacy. It can be obtained at a visit to a doctor, e.g. a gynecologist, if after an interview he or she considers its use to be justified and safe.
If you are currently unable to contact a doctor, the Gdziepolek.pl portal allows you to use online teleconsultations:

The active substance in Escapelle is levonorgestrel. This medicine is an emergency contraceptive method that can be used within 72 hours (3 days) after unprotected sex or in the event of failure
contraceptive method used. Its effectiveness is greater the earlier it is adopted.
Some pharmacies are running a pilot program that allows pharmacists to issue free prescriptions for the morning-after pill. However, we are talking about EllaOne, which contains ulipristal acetate. The tablet should be taken no later than 120 hours (5 days) after intercourse, but as with Escapelle - the sooner it is taken, the better. However, you will have to pay for the pill itself at the pharmacy. We write more about it here: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/blog/farmaceuta-wystawi-darmowa-recepte-na-tabletke-dzien-po
