First #overthecounter #birthcontrol pill heads to stores
#Opill has been around for decades, but manufacturers have been working nine years toward making it available #OTC. This is first #birthcontrolpill that has been approved for use without a prescription from a health care provider. Like many other oral #contraceptives, it's 98% effective at preventing #pregnancy if taken correctly. A month's supply of Opill has a retail price of $19.99, less if you order 3mo or 6mo.

More (mis)adventures. It turns out that the medicine I was prescribed is available over-the-counter.

:headache:

Why write a prescription, then? Is there an advantage I'm unaware of?

Actually, there is an advantage. It is a reminder of what the patient is supposed to take, and the dosage, which may differ from what is on the package. Fair enough.

#TIL.

The #FDA does not have to follow the advice of its advisers, but a rejection of the #OTC application… would be awkward for an admin that has repeatedly pledged to protect #ReproductiveRights following the #SupremeCourt’s overturning of #RoeVWade, which guaranteed the #nationwide #right to #abortion.
