THE PILL AVAILABLE OVER THE COUNTER
WOMEN in NSW will soon be able to access the oral contraceptive pill directly through trained community pharmacists under a new NSW Government reform. Initially, 30 pharmacists will be able to prescribe the pill to low-risk women aged 18–39, with around 250 expected by year’s end.
