The \u201cmini-pill\u201d hit physical shelves and became available for online purchase with no age restrictions in March 2024. Advocates <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2023\/07\/14\/well\/live\/opill-birth-control-over-the-counter.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">hailed <\/a>these as positive, necessary, and long-overdue steps to reduce barriers in women\u2019s access to birth control. Natural Womanhood <a href=\"https:\/\/naturalwomanhood.org\/newsletter\/opill-approved-by-the-fda\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">opposed<\/a> Opill\u2019s OTC approval, due to concerns that lack of medical screening would exacerbate the not-so-mini risks associated with progestin-only contraceptives. Here are five facts you might <em>not <\/em>have heard about Opill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-the-fda-had-some-serious-doubts-about-the-opill-manufacturer-s-research-study\"><span id=\"1-the-fda-had-some-serious-doubts-about-the-opill-manufacturers-research-study\">1. The FDA had some serious doubts about the Opill manufacturer\u2019s research study<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Perrigo, the company that produces Opill, performed a study in which women recorded their use of the mini-pill for up to six months without a doctor\u2019s supervision. However, there were a few\u2026 <em>unusual <\/em>things about the study. The FDA <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/birth-control-pills-without-prescription-3228f5d93f5b6583cdc1be9ce4557373#:~:text=But%20after%20Perrigo,the%20company%E2%80%99s%20results\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">questioned<\/a> unexplained data showing that 30% of participants reported taking more pills than the company supplied them with. Reviewers additionally questioned claims about Opill\u2019s effectiveness because the study was far smaller than most of its kind.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The FDA <em>also<\/em> expressed concerns that Opill could worsen health problems for women with pre-existing conditions. Half of the women in the Perrigo study with a history of irregular bleeding incorrectly believed Opill was appropriate for them, despite being \u201cinstructed to talk to a doctor first, because [irregular bleeding] could indicate a medical problem.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Disappointingly, the FDA still approved Opill, thereby affirming the manufacturer\u2019s claim that women \u201cof all ages\u201d are able to screen themselves without a doctor\u2019s help to determine if Opill is right for them.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-opill-is-a-no-go-for-women-taking-certain-medications-those-with-irregular-or-unusual-bleeding-and-those-with-personal-or-family-history-of-breast-cancer\"><span id=\"2-opill-is-a-no-go-for-women-taking-certain-medications-those-with-irregular-or-unusual-bleeding-and-those-with-personal-or-family-history-of-breast-cancer\">2. Opill is a no-go for women taking certain medications, those with irregular or unusual bleeding, and those with personal or family history of breast cancer<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Women with irregular or unusual bleeding (such as spotting between periods) aren\u2019t the only ones who should be wary of the mini-pill. Opill should <em>not<\/em> be taken at the same time as several different types of medication (and some herbal supplements), including those that treat high blood pressure and HIV, according to Opill\u2019s label and <a href=\"https:\/\/opill.com\/pages\/faqs?topic=opill-side-effects\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">website<\/a>. Women with a personal or family history of breast cancer should not take Opill either (more on this below).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/naturalwomanhood.org\/over-the-counter-birth-cohttps:\/\/naturalwomanhood.org\/over-the-counter-birth-control\/ntrol\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">potential complications<\/a> associated with Opill\u2014including breast cancer, cervical cancer, breast cancer, liver issues, and decreased bone density\u2014are not intuitive. Users are advised to read the drug label carefully, but let\u2019s be honest with ourselves: How many of us peruse the fine print before pulling an item off the shelf at our local drugstore? Especially given the widespread celebration of Opill\u2019s OTC approval, women are likely to hold the misconception that the drug comes with little to no risk\u2014after all, they wouldn\u2019t just put it out there on the shelf for anyone to purchase if it wasn\u2019t safe, right?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-opill-increases-risk-of-breast-cancer\"><span id=\"3-opill-increases-risk-of-breast-cancer\">3. Opill increases risk of breast cancer<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In March 2023, <em>The Washington Post<\/em> published a baffling <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/wellness\/2023\/03\/22\/hormonal-contraceptives-birth-control-cancer-risk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">article<\/a> intended to assuage concerns about the link between breast cancer and progestin-only contraception. It cited a British study which found that, indeed, women\u2019s risk for cancer <em>was<\/em> increased 20-30% by taking birth control\u2013but not to worry! [1] That\u2019s no different than the risk from the combination pill [2]. The <em>Post<\/em> article failed to note that for women who took oral contraceptives for 5 years or longer, the risk of developing breast cancer <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facingourrisk.org\/XRAY\/progestin-birth-control-and-breast-cancer-risk#:~:text=Previous%20studies%20have,no%20longer%20increased\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">remains elevated<\/a> for up to 10 years after stopping it [1].<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The comforting language of the <em>Washington Post<\/em> article rings disconcertingly hollow when considering current <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cancer.org\/cancer\/types\/breast-cancer\/about\/how-common-is-breast-cancer.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">breast cancer statistics<\/a> reported by The American Cancer Society. Breast cancer is the second most common type of cancer <em>and<\/em> the second most deadly cancer in women (lung cancer is the most lethal). And rates have been increasing in recent years, especially among younger women. Currently, about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/bring-your-brave\/breast-cancer-in-young-women\/index.html#:~:text=About%2010%25%20of%20all%20new,than%2045%20years%20of%20age.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">10% of new breast cancer<\/a> cases occur in women under 45, with that rate increasing by 1% annually.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Still, because breast cancer remains more prevalent in older women, it\u2019s not top of mind for many young women, especially if they haven\u2019t had close family members affected by the disease. Indeed, although a history of breast cancer is the top (often the only) reason women are told not to take Opill, preliminary research from the Perrigo study found that some women with a history of breast cancer were unaware that Opill was inappropriate for them.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-4-women-in-rural-and-underserved-areas-deserve-better-than-mail-order-contraceptives\"><span id=\"4-women-in-rural-and-underserved-areas-deserve-better-than-mail-order-contraceptives\">4. Women in rural and underserved areas deserve better than mail order contraceptives<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A <a href=\"https:\/\/dailyyonder.com\/experts-over-the-counter-birth-control-pill-may-benefit-millions-of-rural-americans\/2024\/06\/13\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">recent article<\/a> from <em>The Daily Yonder<\/em> points to the alarming rate of closure among pharmacies in small towns and rural areas, forcing millions of women to travel long distances to seek medical care. While this issue certainly deserves to be noticed and addressed, making Opill available over the counter does nothing to address it. Moreover, it may actually put these women at greater risk: if there is a more convenient option available, most people will take it without a second thought. This situation almost guarantees that a woman will <em>not <\/em>consult a medical provider about taking the mini-pill, <em>and<\/em> she will still be far from medical care if she does experience any serious side effects or adverse reactions.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Furthermore, unlike birth control prescribed by a medical professional or pharmacist, OTC birth control is <em>not<\/em> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthcare.gov\/coverage\/birth-control-benefits\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">covered by insurance<\/a>, meaning that women who opt for Opill will pay for it out of pocket. A one-month supply currently costs around $20 per month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-5-with-typical-use-opill-is-actually-less-effective-than-fams-at-preventing-pregnancy-nbsp\"><span id=\"5-with-typical-use-opill-is-actually-less-effective-than-fams-at-preventing-pregnancy\">5. With typical use, Opill is actually <em>less<\/em> effective than FAMs at preventing pregnancy&nbsp;<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Opill boasts 98% effectiveness in preventing pregnancy, but only with perfect use (taking the pill every single day around the same time). Less frequently acknowledged is its \u201creal-world\u201d effectiveness rate, which takes into account typical rates of incorrect use: about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.acog.org\/womens-health\/faqs\/progestin-only-hormonal-birth-control-pill-and-injection\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">91%<\/a>. That\u2019s actually much lower than fertility awareness methods (FAMs), which <a href=\"https:\/\/naturalwomanhood.org\/this-chart-perfectly-displays-perfect-vs-typical-use-effectiveness-rate-for-birth-control-methods\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">range from 92% to 98% effectiveness<\/a>\u2013and that\u2019s <em>with typical use<\/em>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-final-thoughts-a-one-sided-discourse-doesn-t-benefit-women\"><span id=\"final-thoughts-a-one-sided-discourse-doesnt-benefit-women\">Final thoughts: A one-sided discourse doesn\u2019t benefit women<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The decision to have a child is not one to be taken lightly, and there are plenty of good reasons a couple might determine that now is not the right time. It\u2019s important that women and their partners know their options and the risks that come with each one, and that they can trust medical professionals to know them, too. Those painting a rosy picture of the mini-pill claim to be on the side of women, but rather than fostering honest dialogue about women\u2019s health, they are sending the message that women aren\u2019t worthy of important conversations concerning the nuances of birth control risks and benefits.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Undoubtedly, many women in the U.S. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.acog.org\/clinical\/clinical-guidance\/committee-opinion\/articles\/2019\/10\/over-the-counter-access-to-hormonal-contraception#:~:text=A%202011%20national,20%20per%20month\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">want<\/a> easier access to birth control, celebrated Opill\u2019s OTC approval, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.biospace.com\/birth-control-market-evolves-as-otc-opill-hits-us-stores#:~:text=While%20Opill%20is,the%20Pill\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">look forward<\/a> to other forms of hormonal contraception following suit. But the perceived benefits to some can\u2019t justify obscuring the legitimate risk to many other women (and teenage girls, who can now purchase birth control with no oversight). When experts and media downplay potential threats to women\u2019s health in the name of greater convenience and accessibility, it\u2019s hard not to wonder where their true interests lie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-additional-reading\"><span id=\"additional-reading\">Additional Reading:<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/naturalwomanhood.org\/over-the-counter-birth-control\/\">Opill is now available over-the-counter<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-references\"><span id=\"references\">References:<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n[1] Fitzpatrick D, Pirie K, Reeves G, Green J, Beral V.
