Oral Birth Control Pills Available to the Public

Following approval from the FDA (the Food and Drug Administration), the first birth control pill is made widely available to the public. It is called Envoid and is available only through a doctor's prescription.

The pill was eventually taken off the market because the hormone dosage was 10 times higher than necessary and was connected to serious blood clots. Things have improved since then--not only is the pill totally safe, there are also many different types to choose from.
