Women in the US should be allowed to buy birth control pills over the counter without prescription, health experts have said.
Federal health advisers said Wednesday that a decades-old birth control pill should be sold without a prescription, paving the way for a likely US approval of the first over-the-counter contraceptive medication.
The panel of FDA advisers voted unanimously in favour of drugmaker Perrigo’s request to sell its once-a-day medication over the counter.
