Soon there will be an over-the-counter birth control pill in the US

The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on Wednesday approved over-The-Counter (OTC) birth control pill Opill for sale at retail stores without a prescription. “Today we begin shipping O Pill to our retailers for their bricks-and-mortar stores,” FDA’s deputy commissioner said. The pill is more effective than condoms, spermicides and other nonprescription methods, according to research.
