> The medicine itself comes with an insert outlining usage and side effects in great detail. Senator Nelson called hearings (1970) when women started dropping dead from their birth control prescriptions [1]. The outcome of the hearings was that the drug companies had to warn their customers that their prescriptions might have side effects. Eventually the drug companies realized women didn't need so much estrogen to shut down their menstrual cycles. All the old high-estrogen pills have now been withdrawn, but a few women still react very poorly to their birth control prescriptions. Doctors commonly don't consider the role that birth control plays in their patients' problems. [1] http://swindledandpimped.org/womens_health_a_modern_tragedy/... |
