Answer

<p>Opill is a new progestin-only birth control pill (also called the mini-pill), that is available over the counter. That means you don't need a prescription to get it. Opill is now available on Amazon, <a href="https://opill.com/">Opill&rsquo;s website</a>, and some drugstores, convenience stores, and grocery stores.</p> <p>There are many reasons why someone might choose Opill––some have to do with the fact that Opill is a type of mini-pill, and some have to do with the fact that it's available over the counter. The mini-pill is often prescribed if you're sensitive to combination pills and having side effects or can't take estrogen for some other reason.</p> <p>Because Opill is available over the counter, unlike all of the other birth control pills, which require a prescription, you don't need to talk to a health care provider to start taking it. That means it might be easier to get, more private, and maybe even less expensive than using other types of birth control pills.</p>
