May 10 (Reuters) - A panel of independent experts to the
U.S. Food and Drug Administration on Wednesday unanimously voted
for the over-the-counter use of Perrigo Co's  PRGO.N  birth
control pill. 
    The FDA will likely follow the panel's non-binding
recommendation, that would make it possible for American women
to get access to the first birth control pill without a
prescription.
