I am not as concerned with birth control pills becoming available without establishing a relationship with a physician/provider but rather what kind of precedent this will set in motion as this company plans to expand and include other drugs

[b]FDA Considers Over-the-Counter Birth Control[/b][/h1]

Wade last year.
