FDA Considers OTC Birth Control Pill, But Some Say It Wouldn’t Work For Everyone

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 06:57:37 GMT

Access to birth control options is instrumental for sexually active people to avoid pregnancy. Right now, there’s a discussion about whether or not a certain OTC birth control pill is feasible to sell to consumers without a prescription. But the FDA raised some concerns about this certain contraceptive becoming an over-the-counter drug.Why Access to an OTC Birth Control Pill Is More Important Than EverSince the Supreme Court overturned abortion rights under the US Constitution, many are now seeking more contraceptive solutions to prevent unplanned and unwanted pregnancies. Even Senate President (Pro Tempore) Rodric Bray commented about this. He said, “We are going to work pretty hard on trying to make available contraception so we can have fewer unwanted, unplanned pregnancies in the first place. I think that is a good place to start,”It was only a matter of time before pharmaceutical companies would push for their contraceptives to be made readily available to those who need them —...

Tangerine Dream is Ever Evolving: While Kraftwerk are often, quite rightly, credited with being electronic music pioneers, fellow Germans Tangerine Dream formed in 1967, a full three years before Kraftwerk. It’s not a competition, but it is amazing when considering just how long ago these guys were pushing boundaries. Particularly in the ’80s, their music could be heard on movies such as Firestarter and Legend, and TV shows like Street Hawk.The lineup of Tangerine Dream is ever evolving. Band leader Thorsten Quaeschning, for example, only joined in 2004. No current members of the group were in Tangerine Dream in the last millennium. Think of it as an orchestra.“It’s an everlasting evolving and morphing process, learning from every note ever played and combining things that were explored and set as rules inside our microcosm,” Quaeschning says. “We are combining Synthesizer from all decades, hardware, modular, software to come as close to the sound, crea...
