Do I have to talk to a pharmacist when I’m buying Opill or can I check out at any register?

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, Opill’s website, and some drugstores, convenience stores, and grocery stores.

Opill is approved by the FDA for over-the-counter use for people of all ages and gender identities without a prescription and without having to talk to a pharmacist or other health care provider. There are no limits on who can buy Opill, and no one should ask for your ID to buy it. However, individual stores and retailers may choose to lock up Opill, meaning you may have to talk to someone who works there to have it unlocked.
