First approved by the FDA in 1973, Opill is type of hormonal birth control pill known as the 'minipill,' which some experts say poses fewer risks than combination pills that rely on estrogen.
Medical and scientific experts advising the U.S. Food and Drug Administration have voted in favor of allowing a birth control pill to be sold without a prescription.
The advisory committees of the FDA met Tuesday and Wednesday to review the first-ever application for an over-the-counterbirth control pill. Still, buyers would have to screen themselves for any health risk factors, much as they would other OTC medications. Perrigo, which filed the application in July 2022, argued that changing its pill from prescription to OTC use will improve access to affordable birth control.
