The first over-the-counter birth control pill will be available in U.S. stores later this month, allowing American women and teens to purchase contraceptive medication as easily as they buy aspirin.
第一種可以在美國商店購買的非處方避孕藥，將於本月晚些時候上市，使美國婦女和青少年能夠像購買阿斯匹靈一樣，輕鬆地獲得避孕藥物。
Manufacturer Perrigo said Monday it has begun shipping the medication, Opill, to major retailers and pharmacies. A one-month supply will cost about $20 and a three-month supply will cost around $50, according to the company’s suggested retail price. It will also be sold online.
製造商「百利高」週一表示，已開始向主要零售商和藥房運送這款名為Opill的藥物。根據公司建議的零售價格，1個月的用量將花費約20美元，3個月的用量將花費約50美元。該藥物也將在線上出售。
Opill is an older class of contraceptive, sometimes called minipills, that contain a single synthetic hormone, progestin, and generally carry fewer side effects than more popular combination estrogen and progestin pills.
Opill是一種較舊的避孕藥類別，有時被稱為小劑量避孕藥，它只含有一種合成荷爾蒙黃體酮，副作用通常比流行的複合雌激素和黃體酮避孕藥更小。
