With FDA approval, fight ends over morning-after pill

Plan B One-Step will be available over the counter to all ages in the next few weeks. The agency's action complies with a federal judge's order.



The Food and Drug Administration on Thursday approved the emergency contraceptive Plan B One-Step for use without a prescription or age restrictions, effectively ending more than a decade of legal and regulatory wrangling over the controversial morning-after pill.
