On May 10, a U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) expert panel voted unanimously to make an oral contraceptive pill available over-the-counter.If the FDA adopts the panel's recommendation, the birth control pill, which is currently only available by prescription, would become the first oral contraceptive that women can take without medical supervision.

U.S. health regulators are weighing the first-ever request to make a birth control pill available without a prescription.Advisers to the Food and Drug Administration meet next week to review drugmaker Perrigo's application to sell a decades-old pill over the counter.The two-day public meeting is one of the last steps before an FDA decision.

As much as they may be a small nuisance to take every day, oral contraceptives - that's the pill - are here to stay (at least until better, longer-term, and more convenient birth control options come along).The best thing to do then, is continue to understand them as they evolve.And since becoming mainstream medication in the 1960s in the United States, they've evolved quite a bit.

WASHINGTON Women should start getting every-other-year mammograms at age 40 instead of waiting until 50, according to a draft recommendation from a federal task force.The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force has long said women can choose to start breast cancer screening as young as 40, with a stronger recommendation that they get the X-ray exams every two years from age 50 through 74.

New research has found that all hormonal contraceptives "carry a small increased risk of breast cancer," The Guardian reports.Previously only the combined pill was linked to an increased risk of developing breast and cervical cancer, according to Cancer Research UK, but now this also contributes to progestogen-only contraceptives (also known as the mini pill).

Taking a progestogen-only 'mini pill' carries a small risk of breast cancer - similar to combined oral contraceptive pills, say researchers.The study, in PLoS Medicine journal, is one of the first big ones able to assess the odds for users of this type of birth control.It shows a tiny risk, skewed towards older users, which goes away within a few years of stopping the medication.
