For the first time, the Food and Drug Administration has approved a birth control pill that does not require a prescription. Opill was first approved in 1973 to prevent pregnancies but was taken off the market in 2005 due to business reasons. "Today marks a truly momentous day for women's health nationwide," said Perrigo president and CEO Patrick Lockwood-Taylor.
The FDA said Opill is up to 98% effective when used as directed. The FDA also said using additional forms of birth control, including condoms, helps make the drug more effective.
