Lazenby: On Oral Contraception

It is past time for a medication that millions of American woman take daily – oral contraceptives – to be made available over-the-counter.

It is past time for a medication that millions of American woman take daily – oral contraceptives – to be made available over-the-counter.

Last year, the American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) recommended that the pill be made available without a physician’s prescription – pointing to studies showing that “women are able to self-screen with checklists to determine their health risks” and that they “will continue seeing their doctor for screening and preventive services even when allowed to purchase [oral contraceptives] without a prescription.”

This should be a non-controversial, common sense change for several reasons:

First, the pill is safe. Even though no drug is without risk, the overall consensus among doctors and pharmacists is that oral contraceptives, which have been used in the U.S. for over 50 years and have undergone rigorous testing during that time, are safe. There is a risk of blood clots with the pill, but it is extremely low (it is higher in women who are over 35 or who smoke). Oral contraceptives, used properly, can carry less of a risk than many other medications bought over-the-counter, including nonsteroidal pain pills like Advil and Motrin (which can lead to stomach bleeding) and decongestants like Sudafed (which have been shown to raise blood pressure). By including an insert in the box about proper use and precautions, which is common practice with many other over-the-counter meds, women would be capable of using over the counter contraceptives safely, according to ACOG.

Secondly, oral contraceptives, when used properly, are an effective way to prevent unintended pregnancies. Making the pill available without a prescription will make it easier for a woman to maintain her medication regimen when she loses a pack of pills, is traveling, or is unable to get an (often costly) appointment with her doctor in time. According to ACOG, “Cost, access, and convenience issues are common reasons why women do not use contraception or use it inconsistently.”

It is that inconsistent use that causes the medication to fail and leads to unintended pregnancies. And an increase in unintended pregnancies, it should be pointed out, can lead to an increase in abortions.

Lastly, tying these two issues together, the use of oral contraceptives poses fewer health risks to women than pregnancy itself. Dr. Eve Espey, a professor of obstetrics and gynecology at the University of New Mexico who was involved in writing the ACOG position paper   in a recent New York Times op-ed, “For most women, the absolute risk of taking birth control pills is far less than the risks incurred in pregnancy.” The same extremely low risk of blood clots from taking the Pill is much lower than the risk of blood clots during pregnancy and the postpartum period. And that’s just one of the many medical risks associated with pregnancy, not to mention the emotional and financial toll that an unintended – and even an intended – pregnancy can take on a woman and her family.

But because pregnancy and politics are inevitably intertwined, objections have been raised to making oral contraceptives over-the-counter by social conservatives, abstinence-only education groups, anti-abortion forces, and even some doctors, despite the ACOG’s recommendation. The abstinence-only education groups are denying the reality that young people will engage in sex before marriage, and in so doing, want to deny them access to a medication that could prevent an unintended pregnancy. Anti-abortion forces have raised the concern that young women who need the advice of a doctor regarding sexual activity won’t seek it if they can get the pill at their local pharmacy. No one can say for sure if that’s the case, but we can say for sure that more unintended pregnancies lead to more abortions.

As to the doctors who are opposed to this concept, a recent poll conducted by the University of Missouri “found that a majority of gynecologists and family doctors in training opposed the practice, worried mainly about safety.” The researchers “concluded that the fear was irrational, revealing ‘a knowledge deficit’ about ‘the safety of oral contraceptives,’ ” even among doctors. It is fundamentally unfair to penalize women because some doctors are not as informed as they should be about these medications. Additionally, other doctors may be worried for financial reasons. Many women visit the gynecologist solely for the purpose of an annual pap smear and to get their birth control prescriptions. Now that pap smears are recommended only every three years instead of annually for most women, some physicians may be concerned about the cost a further decreased frequency in visits may mean to their bottom lines. Let’s hope the physicians who put profits over patients are few and far between, especially when the ACOG, the nation’s leading authority in women’s health, is recommending this change.

There will be political battles to be fought and F.D.A. hurdles to clear to make this change a reality, but they are battles worth fighting. If we can reduce the number of unintended pregnancies (and the astronomical financial, physical, and emotional costs associated with them), by making an effective and safe medication available to women at their corner drugstores, we should do it.

Thanks for this, Amy! There are a lot of compelling reasons to make the pill OTC–especially when compared to other OTC meds. My only concern would be that women would then go the to doctor less, have fewer preventative health screenings that often come along with the pap smear.

Ehh…

The pill is safe? There’s a lot of different forms of birth control, even if you just limit it to oral contraceptives, some of which cause pretty bad side effects, and different women have differing levels of those side effects. I think a doctor should be involved in making sure that the patient is prescribed something that works for them, and be there to recommend a change to another birth control if necessary. I also don’t think that women should switch “on a whim” to a different contraceptive three or four times over the course of a very short period of time, especially without instruction from a doctor.

I don’t agree. Doctors should prescribe the birth control, but I do believe that the prescription should be indefinite once it is confirmed that there are no major side effects or complaints from the patient.

But the doctors disagree with you (the ACOG). Lots of over the counter medicines have pretty bad side effects, too, especially if they are misused. And there are many forms of painkillers – Advil, Ibuprofen, Tylenol – and allergy meds – Allegra, Zyrtec Sudafed – available without a prescription. Why should this be any different? Again, the doctors who normally prescribe the meds say they should be OTC – they’re the experts here, and they’re calling for it to be done.

Smirks April 25, 2013 at 2:20 pm

There’s also no difference from taking 3-4 Advil and taking one prescription-strength ibuprofen, but we still expect prescriptions for prescription-strength ibuprofen. Why? Because typically taking that much ibuprofen isn’t a good idea without discussing it with a doctor, even though plenty of people take more than the recommended amount of the OTC stuff. Taking prescription strength amounts for an extended period of time can greatly increase the risk of side effects.

Just for an example, Yaz can cause strokes, pulmonary embolisms, heart attacks, and gallbladder disease. These can be fatal. It has not been recalled. That’s a pretty extreme example, but some pills have worse side effects than others depending on one’s physiology and I’d rather have a medical professional help patients determine what is best for them.

Birth control pills are not always “safe” in general. I’m sorry, but going on an assumption that almost all women will consider their medical histories and their current health statistics compared to the stated side effects of various birth control pills when choosing a contraceptive is extremely flawed. Not all women make regular trips to the OB/GYN either.

There are also instances where birth control is prescribed to treat a medical disorder. I’m not a medical professional but I’d be willing to bet in those cases, certain pills work better than others. I’d rather a woman be told by their doctor to take X pill than by some quack on a forum that pops up as one of the first results on Google.

The simpler thing to do is to give a temporary prescription to make sure there are no complications, then issue one that can be refilled indefinitely. This should only require 2-4 trips to the OB/GYN before the patient has no need to have any prescription renewed.

Other issues (which may be more easily solved) is the lack of insurance coverage for OTC medications, need for an age limit to stop minors from purchasing without parental consent, etc.

I respect that a number of doctors and ACOG believes it would be OK to the point where they recommend OTC birth control, but I simply can’t agree. I see risks that make me far too uneasy to lend my support to this.

And they are never wrong, right? Do you realize how long the arguments over breast feeding have been going on? The whole point is not to believe everything people tell you–have a healthy dose of skepticism. Be it pharma, FDA, whomever, science and understanding changes all the time, and Lazenby does not present arguments against doing this, which is why it is not ‘journalism’ but simply opinion. I need to add that there was (defeated) legislation proposed to make pseudo-effedrine–now OTC BUT behind the counter–prescription only. Absurd, right? Can you imagine pollen season in the South and having to get a doctor’s prescription every time you needed some Tylenol sinus? But yet others want to limit soda size and sinus meds, it’s crazy.

So here we have this recommendation–which would also mean that INSURANCE WOULD DROP ORAL CONTRACEPTION because INSURANCE MOST CERTAINLY DOES NOT COVER OTC medications, at the same time there is a Obamacare saying that we all pay for contraception and the women that use it pay nothing. Forbes pointed out how the cost of contraception will necessarily go up when it is subsidized by mandatory insurance, rather than for example 4 bucks a pack at Walmart. You won’t pay, so you won’t notice, but pharma would be thrilled to charge 238.00 a pack and have you pay 10.00. Until the system goes broke.

Will there be an age limit on who can purchase the pill? Like cigarettes? Another issue–the advertising would ramp up to insane levels, which means you would be relying on Madison Avenue rather than a physician to tell you about the product. The adverts for drugs are already unethical and mostly ridiculous–who markets and anti-psychotic to…psychotics? Big pharma gets zapped all the time for misleading drug ads, but they will surely go after the almighty dollar on this one, when more than half the population might be their new market. Also, expect STDs and HIV to rise. Not going to the doctor, thinking you are immune from pregnancy so what the heck, why bother with condoms. That’s just human behavior.

Smirks, I’m going to agree with you on this one (?!?). Yaz, for one example, is linked to strokes, blood clots, deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism–the class action attorneys love it. In very young women. Over 10,000 lawsuits filed against Yaz/Bayer, 3,490 Yaz cases settled for $750 million just last fall. Not to mention the links between taking hormones and cancer, which is why a doctor should be consulted to get that family history and evaluate the risks. The HRT fiasco, where it was suggested for every woman with menopausal symptoms, then yanked abruptly because of the skyrocketing breast cancer rates, should be enough to tell you that pharma, the FDA, and the medical community don’t always know what they are doing to people, and pumping yourself full of synthetic hormones does carry risks. The jury is still out on OC and cancer risks, but studies are always in process, and that is the way science works. And I say this with a disclaimer: I just finished breast cancer treatment which now means I live in chronic pain and my life is basically ruined, a close family member got breast cancer from HRT which metastasized and now she is dying, and I come from a family of pharmacologists/drug company owners and medical school professors. The argument that pregnancy carries greater risk is an old pro-abortion canard–having no children or delaying having them until you are infertile increases your cancer risks, so having at least one child drops your rate of certain cancers. That being said, some prescriptions should be open ended, reducing costs and clogging up the doctor’s office. Plan B is in vending machines, we’ll just have to see what the long term effects of a hormone blast will be, esp. if used as a form of contraception. Given the high rates of abortion and single mother births in the US, even with all of these medications, available on the yellow card program for women on medicaid, the issue is way more complex than reductionist feminists would have you believe.

I agree on the OTC status on principal. However, the one down side I have found over the years of removing meds from prescription status to OTC is ironically, a cost factor. Three times over the past several years, medications I routinely take have been moved to OTC status. Each time, my cost quadrupled. Turns out, with insurance and a generic, it was considerably less expensive. Thus, I am not so sure it is the best idea. It could end up being yest another higher expense facing people on shoe string budgets.

Anybody see this story: “Archbishop prays while topless gay activists shout curses and douse him with water” ….Google it. Disgusting…

The left is Criminally off-the-chain. Obama, and a likely stolen election, has emboldened leftwing radicals to where we are becoming Endangered…and the Feme-Nazis are claiming they are being deprived rights…LMAO…

American society is becoming a Cesspool…and the LEFT has blood and disgrace all over its hands……

I don’t know if the prescription required to get contraceptives is political or not. It might be, I just don’t know and I don’t know if Lazenby knows. I sometimes wonder why some drugs require a prescription and others don’t. Lazenby says contraceptives are safe and I assume they are. But isn’t every drug safe? Why else would the FDA approve them? If safety is the determining factor, why do men have to get prescriptions if they want to take Viagra and similar ED drugs? Aren’t they safe? Is that political too? No need to answer, it’s rhetorical.

What I do know is that there is an effort to make pseudoephedrine, an ingredient in common, over-the-counter cold treatment medicines, available via prescription only because it is used to make methamphetamine.

There should be a very good reason to make any drug available only by prescription, and law enforcement is a really lousy reason.
