Important Note on Opill (Over-the-Counter):
- Opill ([3], [7])
Is a progestin-only, estrogen-free mini pill that was approved by the FDA in July 2023 as over-the-counter (OTC). It does not require a prescription and can be purchased online at CVS.com, Opill.com, and other major pharmacies. This makes it a convenient option if you prefer not to go through a prescribing service.
Recommendation:
If you want prescribed mini pills with personalized medical review, choose Nurx or Walgreens Virtual Care.
If you prefer no prescription and fast access, Opill from CVS or Opill.com is the best choice.
Avoid services that only list combination pills unless they explicitly include progestin-only options in their catalog.
