"Over-the-Counter Birth Control Pill Now Available for Online Orders in the US"
TL;DR
The first over-the-counter birth control pill, Opill, is now available for online purchase in the US, with a suggested retail price of $19.99 for a one-month supply. This new option provides increased access to contraception, particularly benefiting those in remote areas or with limited access to reproductive health care. While the FDA's approval of Opill without an age restriction is a milestone for expanding access to contraception, concerns remain about potential state restrictions. The availability of Opill online and in stores offers more control over reproductive health choices, but there is ongoing debate about access to sexual and reproductive health care in the US.
