First #overthecounter #birthcontrol pill heads to stores
#Opill has been around for decades, but manufacturers have been working nine years toward making it available #OTC. This is first #birthcontrolpill that has been approved for use without a prescription from a health care provider. Like many other oral #contraceptives, it's 98% effective at preventing #pregnancy if taken correctly. A month's supply of Opill has a retail price of $19.99, less if you order 3mo or 6mo.

The #FDA does not have to follow the advice of its advisers, but a rejection of the #OTC application… would be awkward for an admin that has repeatedly pledged to protect #ReproductiveRights following the #SupremeCourt’s overturning of #RoeVWade, which guaranteed the #nationwide #right to #abortion.

The #FDA’s outside experts expressed confidence, in a 17 to 0 vote, that consumers could take an #OralContraceptive called #Opill correctly. They said the benefits of #OTC status, such as increased #access to #contraception, outweighed the risks, including a lack of strict adherence to pill-taking that could result in unintended pregnancies.
The move sharply bolsters the likelihood that Opill…will become the first #BirthControlPill available in the US w/o a prescription.
