FDA approves first over-the-counter birth control pill

For the first time, people will now be able to readily purchase birth control online and at pharmacies, convenience stores, and groceries without a prescription, a requirement that has been seen as a hurdle to greater access to contraception. The pricing has not yet been disclosed by Perrigo, the company that manufactures the pill.
