April 4 (Reuters) - CVS Caremark, the pharmacy benefit

management subsidiary of CVS Health Corp ( CVS ), will add

Perrigo's ( PRGO ) birth control pill to its preventive services

oral contraceptives list and make it available at no cost for

many plan sponsors, according to a pharmacy update on March 28.

The U.S. FDA in July approved over-the-counter use of

Perrigo's ( PRGO ) drug Opill, making it the first oral contraceptive in

the country which can be purchased without prescription.

Opill was first approved for prescription use in 1973.

Last month, Perrigo ( PRGO ) said Opill would be available at major

retailers for a price of $19.99 and $49.99 for a one-month and

three-month supply, respectively.

On Thursday, drugstore chain operator Rite Aid ( RADCQ )

said Opill would be available at its pharmacies in all

locations.
