The Food and Drug Administration is considering whether to approve a Birth control Pill that would be available over the counter for the first time. The pill, Opill, is currently being studied in the United States and has been approved in other countries, but has yet to be made available in the United States. There are concerns that the pill will not be effective for some women, and that those with certain medical conditions may not be able to take it safely. If approved, the pill would be the first birth control pill to be available without a prescription.
