JUST IN : FDA approves first over-the-counter hormonal birth control pill
“Today’s approval marks the first time a nonprescription daily oral contraceptive will be an available option for millions of people in the United States,” said the Director of the FDA's Center for Drug Evaluation and Research, Patrizia Cavazzoni.
This decision comes after an advisory panel in May unanimously supported the proposal to grant over-the-counter approval to the Irish-based company Perrigo's contraceptive. Today, FDA approved a tablet for nonprescription use to prevent pregnancy — the first daily oral contraceptive approved for use in the U.S. without a prescription. https://t.co/9NTtf2OH2Y pic.twitter.com/iCr75fQvUPThis is a developing story.
