Over-the-counter contraceptive pill availability in New York State

Listen to this summary

The authors aimed to assess the availability of the over-the-counter contraceptive pill norgestrel (Opill) in New York State one year post-approval. Their study found that only 56.46% of contacted pharmacies stocked the pill, with chain pharmacies being more likely to have it available, indicating that access to this contraceptive option is not universal across the state.
