Opill® is a progestin-only daily oral contraceptive (birth control pill) that is safe and effective when used as directed to help prevent pregnancy. It’s the only over-the-counter birth control pill available in the United States.

Opill® is not an emergency contraceptive (morning-after pill) and won’t prevent pregnancy when used after unprotected sex. Opill® does not protect against HIV/AIDS or other sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). 

Opill® is available at all Kinney Drugs locations and on Instacart.

Opill® works by thickening your cervical mucus, which helps to block sperm from getting to an egg. In addition, Opill® may prevent ovulation, but not in all cycles. You must take it at the same time every day to prevent pregnancy. Opill® is effective from 48 hours after you begin taking it.

Opill® is a progestin-only birth control pill (sometimes referred to as a POP or the mini pill). Many birth control pills on the market contain a combination of estrogen and progestin. Opill® only contains one type of hormone (progestin) and is estrogen-free. Like all daily oral contraceptives, Opill® should be taken once a day, at the same time. 

Opill® does not protect against HIV/AIDS or other STDs. Only condoms can protect against STDs.
