U.S. regulators on Friday approved a birth control gel that works in a new way to prevent pregnancy.

Phexxi comes in an applicator that women insert before sex. The gel made by San Diego-based Evofem Biosciences contains lactic acid, citric acid and potassium bitartrate, all of which are common food additives.
