FDA OK's Sale of Morning-After Pill Over-The-Counter to Girls 15 And Over

U.S. regulators on Tuesday lowered the age limit for Plan B One-Step emergency contraception, approving it for sale to girls as young as 15 and agreeing it will be available without a prescription and on store shelves instead of behind pharmacy counters, according to an NBC News report. 

Proof of age will be required to purchase the drug, but no parental consent will be needed for teenagers who wish to buy.

Planned Parenthood officials favored the Teva approval, while reproductive rights groups opposed.
