Advisory committees of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration are meeting Tuesday and Wednesday to review the first-ever application for an over-the-counter birth control pill.
, the Nonprescription Drugs Advisory Committee and the Obstetrics, Reproductive, and Urologic Drugs Advisory Committee will discuss whether pharmaceutical company Perrigo can make its oral contraceptive Opill, which currently requires a prescription, to be available on store shelves.
During the meeting, the FDA will hear from the company as well as speakers who will advocate for the need of nonprescription birth control. If the advisory committees do recommend approval, the next step is approval from the FDA. Although the agency is not bound to follow the advisory groups' recommendations, the FDA typically does not go against their guidance.
