Opill, First Over-The-Counter Birth Control Pill in U.S., Now Shipping to Stores

The FDA-approved Opill offers a new, effective contraceptive option without a prescription, marking a significant advancement in women's healthcare.

Opill, a progestin-only birth control pill, is now available over-the-counter in the U.S., following FDA approval in July.
Perrigo, the manufacturer, announced that Opill has begun shipping to major stores and pharmacies, with pre-orders also available.
Opill is 98% effective with perfect use and 91% effective with typical use, offering a highly effective contraceptive option compared to other over-the-counter methods.
The pill is suitable for individuals seeking birth control without the need for a doctor's prescription, except for those with active breast cancer or on certain medications.
Experts emphasize the importance of Opill in providing easier access to contraception, especially in light of increasing restrictions on women's reproductive rights.
