Last week, the FDA was prepared to lift the prescription requirement for Plan B One- Step.
And it could allow Plan B One-Step to move out from behind pharmacy counters to the store counters.

Today, Plan B One-Step is sold behind pharmacy counters, and buyers must prove they're 17 or older to buy it without a prescription.
Teva had submitted two studies to the FDA earlier this year seeking approval of its application to fully lift prescription requirements for Plan B One-Step.
Plan B One-Step and the older, generic versions of Plan B that require two pills are currently sold without a prescription to women age 17 and older.
"The FDA's approval of Teva's current application for Plan B One-Step is independent of that litigation and this decision is not intended to address the judge's ruling, " the FDA said in a statement.
According to the new FDA decision, Plan B One-Step will now be labeled to reflect that proof of age is required to purchase it, and it cannot be sold where age cannot be verified.

In a letter to the Center for Reproductive Rights denying the petition, the FDA disclosed for the first time that Teva would have had three years of exclusivity for full non-prescription sales of Plan B One-Step if the application had been approved.
