New Pill stops Periods
Men need not read further
By Katie Cox
The FDA approved a pill today that will stop a woman’s period. The new pill, Lybrel, will be marketed with that as its key feature. The pill must be taken daily, every day of the month, which is different from other pills that are only taken for 21 days. The pill is a lower dose of hormones and is produced by the Pharmaceutical distributor, Wyeth. This sounds quite promising for women around the country.
What consumers don’t realize is that this is no new feat. Just because pills in the past have a series of placebo, or sugar pills, during the week that the women is to menstruate does not mean that she has to take those. If she continues her pills back to back, she will miss her period, which is exactly what this new pill is.
To me they are marketing an idea that smart women out there have known for years. Ask any gynecologist and they will tell you the same thing, you don’t need to stop taking your birth control, the period that you get is only there to reassure you.
According to reports, unscheduled bleeding can still occur and it will not stop periods for all women on the pill. It sounds like a lot of B.S. to me.
Other forms of birth control, such as Seasonale, claim to limit menstruation to only once every few months. Scientists did not just discover the ability to halt periods, but rather, marketing experts have found that women, despite what they say, actually like the idea of menstruation and consider it a sign of good health and fertility. These are concerns of the distributors of Lybrel, who aren’t sure how women are going to feel about it. We all know that birth control is only 97-98% effective if taken correctly, so with no period how can one be sure that it is working at all?
Not to mention that symptoms including bloating, irritability, and fatigue to name a few cannot be promised away. Where is the cure all pill that gets rid of the cramps along with the period itself. I won’t be satisfied until I see that happen. Lybrel is the first oral contraceptive of its kind to be marketed specifically to stop periods and I would be surprised if it was a hit.
