An over-the-counter (no prescription needed) oral birth control pill is now available online. The pill’s name is Opill and is manufactured by Parrigo.
It is a progestin-only pill (norgestrel). It does not contain any estrogen. It should be taken every day at the same time.
The pill is 98% effective at preventing pregnancy when taken as directed. It begins working 48 hours after the first dose.
The pill can be ordered online at Opill.com and Amazon. It is likely that other sites will soon be available.
