  25. The Food and Drug Administration on Thursday approved a #birth #control #pill to be sold #without a #prescription for the first time in the United States, a milestone that could significantly expand access to contraception.

    The medication, called #Opill, will become the most effective birth control method available over the counter — more effective at preventing pregnancy than condoms, spermicides and other nonprescription methods.

    Experts in reproductive health said its availability could be especially useful for young women, teenagers and those who have difficulty dealing with the time, costs or logistical hurdles involved in visiting a doctor to obtain a prescription.

    The pill’s manufacturer, Perrigo Company, based in Dublin, said Opill would most likely become available from stores and online retailers in the United States in early 2024.

    The company did not say how much the medication would cost — a key question that will help determine how many people will use the pill — but Frédérique Welgryn, Perrigo’s global vice president for women’s health, said in a statement that the company was committed to making the pill “#accessible and #affordable to women and people of all ages.”

  32. #FDA advisory panels back making #Opill birth control pill available over the counter

    Advisers to the agency voted unanimously in favor of making the pill available without a prescription, despite concerns from FDA scientists about the quality of the data.

    If approved, Opill — from French drugmaker HRA Pharma — would be the first #BirthControl pill available for over-the-counter sales in the #UnitedStates.

  33. #FDA advisers vote unanimously in favor of #OTC #birthcontrol pills
    #Opill is a once-a-day pill containing only #progestin. Approved in 1973 and has shown to be remarkably safe in five decades since then, proving safer than combination hormone pills that have risks of blood clots. Experts estimate Opill is about 93% effective at preventing #pregnancy in reallife use, higher than real-life efficacy of other easily accessible birth-control methods, such as condoms (87%).
