Obviously. Though I’m not particularly fond of US “experts”. If some respectable EU authority says it’s (mostly) safe, I’m gonna believe it’s (mostly) safe.
In 2021 they already didn’t have to abide by EU rules (and they stopped abiding pretty much instantly about a lot). Look, I never said it’s not safe. I also didn’t say it’s safe. I live in a country where there’s no shame in telling your gynecologist that you want on the pill, so this is of no concern to me whatsoever, I just shared my opinion based on the facts I just mentioned.
I won’t advocate for using over-the-counter anticonception in my country, because here the system works. In US, it’s definitely a good thing because some religious zealots feel like a woman’s womb is their own property. The doctor knows you better than a pharmacist and if you can safely get a prescription, it’s always better.
This shit is already over the counter in much of Europe.
Did you do any research whatsoever about this before making such a confident statement about the “danger”? Or are you just going based on your feelings?
It’s not over the counter where I live (in Europe and EU) and there is no outrage about using anticonception, in fact it’s common for 15 yo to get on the pill, so there are no political or cultural reasons for it to be prescription. That’s what I was going on. Any more questions or projections from your side?
Melatonin is an oral hormone too, doesnt really mean its unsafe inherently, i think maybe its best to listen to the expert panel for now
