Verbatim response from Perplexity
No single online service prescribes only the progestin-only pill (mini pill), but several major telehealth platforms—including Nurx, Walgreens Virtual Care, Hers, and GoodRx Care—prescribe it as a standard option alongside other birth control methods. The most accessible progestin-only option that requires no prescription is Opill, which is available over the counter online and at pharmacies like CVS.

No-Prescription Option: Opill (The Most Direct Mini Pill)
- Opill is an FDA-approved, over-the-counter (OTC), progestin-only daily pill (norgestrel) that requires no prescription or appointment [3][7].
- It is estrogen-free and suitable for most people who can become pregnant [7].
- Available online for delivery or at major pharmacies nationwide (e.g., CVS, Walgreens, Rite Aid) [3][5].
- CVS offers Opill with CVS Pickup or same-day delivery; some plans cover it for $0 out-of-pocket (e.g., CVS Caremark) [3].
- Opill.com also offers subscription delivery [7].
✅ Recommendation: If you want the most convenient mini pill without a prescription, choose Opill. If you need a customized prescription (e.g., another brand like Camila or Jolivette) or have specific health considerations, use Walgreens Virtual Care or Hers, both of which explicitly list progestin-only options and serve many states.
All services prioritize privacy with discreet packaging and offer automatic refills or subscriptions for continuity. Always confirm state availability and consult a provider if you have underlying health conditions.
