No more monthly thing
The Food and Drugs Authority (FDA) of the United States approved the new birth control drug, Lybrel last 2007. It is different from the traditional pills because placebos need not be taken for this drug. The placebos are replaced with hormones. This is a low dose drug which can suppress menstruation and could be taken continuously all year long.
A side effect of this drug is that women taking it might experience unscheduled bleeding or spotting. This is common for all extended cycle combined oral contraceptive pills (COCPs) but it tends to decrease over time. Concern for women’s long term health has also been raised with regard to the suppression of menstruation but so far, there is no conclusive study as regards this matter. The manufacturer of this drug is Wyeth Pharmaceuticals.
