Opill, the first oral contraceptive pill available without a prescription, is now in stores.
Here’s what you need to know:
-
The Opill is another tool to empower people and give them autonomy over their lives.
-
Planned Parenthood believes every person deserves access to the care and resources they need to live their best lives, including access to birth control.
-
Many people will still want contraception counseling and forms of birth control that they need to access through a healthcare provider.
-
Birth control is not one-size-fits-all. There are many types of birth control available, and everyone responds to each type differently. The more safe, effective birth control options available, the better.
-
Over-the-counter (OTC) birth control access is critical for people who face the biggest barriers to contraception, including Black, Latino, and Indigenous communities, young people, immigrants, LGBTQ+ communities, people who are under- or uninsured, and people with low incomes.
