Sounds potentially dangerous. Though in the current US climate maybe less dangerous than asking a doctor for prescription.

The panel cited the long history of safety and efficacy of Opill, which was approved for prescription use 50 years ago. The over-the-counter pill will be identical to the prescription version, which is 93 percent effective at preventing pregnancy with typical use.
