Managing and monitoring hypertension for COC users
The 2025 annual meeting of the Free the Pill coalition featured a panel discussion exploring the benefits and risks of combined oral contraceptives (COCs) and offering insight from reproductive justice experts, researchers, and providers about what is needed for an over-the-counter combined oral contraceptive (OTC COC) to fully support our communities as we strategize to bring more birth control pills OTC in the United States.
Moderated by Victoria Nichols, Senior Project Director of Free the Pill, speakers included:
Kelly Blanchard, President of Ibis Reproductive Health
Dázon Dixon Diallo, Founder and President of SisterLove
Sally Rafie, Founder of Birth Control Pharmacist
