The Food and Drug Administration approved a daily oral contraceptive pill for use without a prescription on Thursday, a landmark event that comes as some U.S. states have sought to restrict access to birth control and abortion.
Food and Drug Administration on Thursday approved the birth control pill Opill to be available over-the-counter — the first nonprescription birth control pill in the United States. #FDA#WomensHealthcare
U.S. officials have approved the first over-the-counter birth control pill, which will let American women and girls buy contraceptive medication from the same aisle as aspirin and eyedrops.
The AP reports the "FDA’s decision has no relation to the ongoing court battles over the abortion pill mifepristone."
The #FDA gave full approval to the #Alzheimer’s drug Leqembi, and #Medicare said it would cover much of its high cost, laying the foundation for widespread use of the medication
“#FDA has approved blood test that can identify pregnant women who are at imminent risk of developing a severe form of high blood pressure called pre-eclampsia, a leading cause of disability and death among childbearing women.
The condition disproportionately affects Black women in the United States…” #health#WomensHealth
Scores of Critical Lab Tests Fall Into a Regulatory Void. The #FDA Is Trying to Close It.
Lab-developed tests like #prenatal screenings have become increasingly popular, all while escaping the bulk of federal scrutiny over #marketing and accuracy. Now, the FDA is beginning the process of imposing regulations on these kinds of tests.
@kentindell The #FDA must have the regulatory robustness of the #NHTSA, near as I can tell (at as far as experimental devices are concerned).
This is unbelievable.
To my knowledge, the #USDA OIG has not even concluded an investigation into allegations of horrid animal-welfare violations - which is, to me, a clear-cut signal as to how #Neuralink will treat any trial participants.
#Neuralink a donc obtenu le feu vert de la #FDA pour expérimenter son interface neuronale directe sur les humains.
J'ai écrit plusieurs papiers sur le sujet dont un mémo de 10 pages pour Orange. Vous pouvez lire le premier draft ici, j'y avais énoncé les problèmes éthiques que ça posait :
:breathe: The FDA will apparently let Elon Musk put a computer in a human’s brain

"Neuralink has been accused of abusing its monkey test subjects, a claim the company denies. The FDA rejected an early 2022 Neuralink application for human trials, as reported by Reuters, apparently outlining “dozens of issues” the company needed to address."
In den USA könnten bald Chips in menschliche Gehirne implantiert werden. Die Zulassungsbehörde FDA hat erste klinische Tests des Musk-Unternehmens Neuralink genehmigt. Zuvor hatte es noch Sicherheitsbedenken gegeben.
Unbelievable after the disaster that was the last SpaceX launch and the dumpster fire that is twitter, along with the Tesla self driving issues. By all means let's allow #Elon to physically mess with the human brain. Bet #SCOTUS isn't going to rip power from the #FDA.
⚠️ #FDA is alerting consumers & pharmacies to not use or sell a specific lot of over-the-counter G-Supress DX Pediatric Drops Cough Suppressant Expectorant Nasal Decongestant Cherry Flavor because it contains the incorrect product and may cause patient harm https://t.co/T5Dd3T93xc
