FDA approves OTC hormonal birth control pill.
The FDA Approves Opill as an Over-the-Counter Oral Contraceptive
The Food and Drug Administration made an exciting announcement on Thursday morning, granting approval for the progestin-only oral contraceptive Opill to be available over-the-counter. This groundbreaking decision opens up a new option for millions of people in the United States.
“Today’s approval marks the first time a nonprescription daily oral contraceptive will be an available option for millions of people in the United States,” said Patrizia Cavazzoni, the Director of the FDA’s Center for Drug Evaluation and Research.
This significant milestone follows the unanimous support from an advisory panel in May, who recommended granting over-the-counter approval to Perrigo’s contraceptive, Opill, which is based in Ireland.
The FDA emphasized the safety and effectiveness of Opill when used correctly. This development is a major step forward in reproductive healthcare.
A New Era in Contraception
Opill’s approval as an over-the-counter contraceptive is a game-changer. It provides individuals with greater accessibility and control over their reproductive health. No longer requiring a prescription, Opill empowers people to make informed decisions about their contraception needs.
This groundbreaking decision by the FDA reflects a growing recognition of the importance of reproductive autonomy and the need for accessible contraceptive options.
