US FDA panel backs first over-the-counter birth control pill
Birth control pills are widely prescribed in the US, but nearly all US patients receive a pill that includes the oestrogen hormone.

They wrote that HRA Pharma appeared to have relied on low-quality studies, some dating back to when the drug was first approved in 1973. Advisors on the panel said they were mostly confident women of all ages would use the drug as appropriate without first consulting a healthcare provider.
