Opill is known as a “mini pill” because it contains only one hormone, progestin, in contrast to “combination” pills, which contain both progestin and estrogen. A company that makes a combination pill, Cadence Health, has also been in discussions with the F.D.A. about applying for over-the-counter status.

So good luck DIYing a transition with these. Progesterone will develop milk ducts but it won’t make breasts grow.

Because this is paywalled, go to archive.ph and add it as a link! Then you can read it.

We should get an archive bot.

The lemmy ui does make it easy to upload a link to multiple archive sites when making a thread though

I’m so happy they explained how the price of the pill affects the cost of the pill. I never would have figured it out on my own.

Did they edit the story? I didn’t see that part.

The sub headline is:

The price of the pill, which has not been announced, will determine how affordable it will be when it becomes available in early 2024.

Interestingly, the actual article talks more about the impact of OTC medications not being covered by insurance. Which is a pretty big drawback.
