Most birth control pills needs doctors' prescription. Now over the counter birth control pills proven to be safe by FDA is now available in the US. It is seen as a solution to over population problem.



Warning about birth control pills though, it is blamed to increase stroke on younger women. Bieber's wife ends up having stroke on her 20s.

Over the Counter Birth Control has been available since I was in High School in the 50's. It's also known as Asprin and it's simple to use, the girl holds it between her knees.

Aso here in my country which is populous, birth control pills are sold in pharmacies 6 years ago.

Birth control pills are free in our Health Care center and we don't need a prescription. It is also sold in pharmacies but most people get it for free.

I don't understand why people would prefer the pills route when protected sex is cheaper and safer. I guess so many people today are not scared of hiv and would prefer to eat their bananas without peels.

It allows you to "belt and braces with it"- be doubly safe. Also, women take hormonal birth control pills for other reasons besides birth control. You can use it to regulate your cycle and if you are so inclined not have periods at all. It also can also treat the symptoms of a number of health issues. I'm not saying women should use it, that's up to them, just that those are some reasons they do.

This over-the-counter birth control pill is a welcome item because some political interests are keen on denying US women their right to decide to terminate their pregnancies.
I am however sure that these overly conservative interests will try to fight this scientific development.

I think this is a welcome development because it makes it even easier for women to access them. I do hope those who choose to get them over the counter receive all the information they need to make informed decisions as well as to know there are other options out there.

What does being conservative have to do with it? I do think it could cut down on the number abortions significantly, since there will be fewer babies to murder.

In my place, you do not need doctor's prescription to buy birth control pills.

I have always seen such pills in Pharmacies and drug stores here in my country. If you have money, you buy than waiting for the long queues at Government facilities for free.
