<br/><br/> "Like other oral contraceptives on the market, Seasonale, the new birth control pill, prevents pregnancy. But the new pill's ability to suppress periods for months at a time is the focus of the sales pitch the manufacturer, Barr Laboratories is emphasizing to women on other contraceptives, those with menstrual disorders and a third group: healthy girls and women who simply want the convenience of fewer periods, even if they're not sexually active." (NEWSDAY) This article examines the development of a controversial new birth control pill and reports that "many advocates for women's health have called for more studies on the long-term safety of Seasonale, even though the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has not required them and approved Seasonale in September [2003]."
