OPill…Now HERE! (ACOG PA March 2024)

On this podcast, we have been following this story of the OPill for several months. Previous episodes on the subject can be found in our podcast library. As expected, this first ever daily use progestin only pill is now available over-the-counter in the US. 👏👏. On Wednesday, March 6, 2024, the ACOG released its Practice Advisory presenting some key reminders for clinicians regarding this new over-the-counter contraceptive option. In this episode, we will summarize this practice advisory and answer some real-world questions patients may have regarding this: does the OPill help with acne? Is this approved for endometriosis pain? What happens if a patient misses the next dose at the scheduled time? Listen in for these answers and more.
