Dive into some of the most commonly asked questions about Opill or check out our full list of FAQs.
What is Opill®?
Opill® is a progestin-only pill (POP) and is estrogen free. It contains a synthetic version of the naturally produced hormone progesterone. It is a convenient, daily over-the-counter birth control pill that you use every day to prevent pregnancy. The best part is you don't need a prescription from your doctor to purchase it! It's been approved by the FDA as a non-prescription daily oral birth control pill.
How does Opill® work?
Opill® works by thickening the cervical mucus, which helps block sperm from reaching the egg and by preventing the ovaries from releasing eggs in some cycles.
Do I need a prescription for Opill?
No, you don’t need a prescription from the doctor or pharmacist for Opill. Opill can be purchased over the counter, which means it can be found in the aisles of most major pharmacies nationwide and will be available online.
Is Opill the same as other birth control pills?
Opill is a progestin-only birth control pill (sometimes referred to as POPs or the mini pill). Many birth control pills on the market contain a combination of estrogen and progestin. Opill only contains one type of hormone (progestin) and is estrogen-free. Like all daily oral contraceptives, Opill should be taken once a day, at the same time.
What are the most common side effects with Opill®?
The most common side effects are related to changes in bleeding pattern. Some people may find their period becomes less or more frequent, shorter or longer, lighter or heavier than before starting Opill®. Some people may also have some spotting or bleeding between periods or stop having periods while taking Opill®. Less common side effects include headaches, dizziness, nausea, increased appetite, abdominal pain, cramps or bloating. Most side effects are mild and often resolve on their own1. However, if the side effects are severe or persistent, it is important to talk to a doctor.
