Opill Becomes First Birth Control Pill Available Without Prescription in U.S.
• Opill is the first birth control pill available without a prescription in the U.S.
• It contains progestin but no estrogen, so it is a "mini-pill."
• Opill is 98% effective at preventing pregnancy if taken correctly.
• It will be sold online and in stores in the family planning aisle for about $20 per month.
• Opill does not require a doctor's appointment or prescription, so it increases access to birth control.
