The FDA approved the first over-the-counter birth control pill in the United States.
FOX 26 Reporter Natalie Hee has reaction from Houstonians about the decision by the FDA.The FDA has approved the first over-the-counter birth control pill in the U.S. Before the monumental decision Thursday, oral contraceptives could only be obtained with a doctor’s prescription.
"The only folks we recommend really kind of have a conversation with their health care provider is people with breast cancer or a history of breast cancer themselves, not within the family, but themselves, and people with pretty active liver disease," Aagaard said. "That’s good for women in Texas, so we have more options. Our government right now is limiting a lot of our decisions regarding our bodies, so I think it’s great that we have that option now," said Faith Cortez.
Experts say common side effects include headaches, dizziness, irregular bleeding and nausea. However, doctors say the Opill’s benefits outweigh the risks, especially for women in low-income communities.
