M.SIGGA Posted November 16, 2003 Share Posted November 16, 2003 (edited) FDA Approves First Chewable Birth Control Pill Friday, November 14, 2003 WASHINGTON — Women are about to get their first chewable birth-control pill. The Food and Drug Administration (search) on Friday approved a chewable, spearmint-flavored version of a longtime contraceptive tablet, called Ovcon 35. The tablet works if a woman swallows it whole. But a woman also can chew this version, as long as she then drinks a full glass of liquid immediately afterward to ensure the full dose reaches the stomach and no residue is left in the mouth, the FDA said. Warner Chilcott Inc. of Rockaway, N.J., will market the chewable contraceptive. Officials didn't return phone calls asking how soon it will be available, and at what price. Spearmint flavor? This getting way too easy. Edited November 16, 2003 by M.SIGGA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUN-D.R.E. Posted November 17, 2003 Share Posted November 17, 2003 <_< I always thought chewable pills were FOR kids, not anti-kids! B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellenita Posted November 17, 2003 Share Posted November 17, 2003 I really don't see the point! The pill is so small it can easily be swallowed without a glass of water and why prolong the moment of putting a drug into your body? Now if they had spent the money on developing an 'easy to put on' condom for men..... :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M.SIGGA Posted November 17, 2003 Author Share Posted November 17, 2003 (edited) Now if they had spent the money on developing an 'easy to put on' condom for men..... Condoms are against church teaching, but on their part this would have been money better well spent When are they going to realize that it doesn't matter what kind of birth control is used or how many different kinds are distributed; it doesn't healthily work and it is not effective b/c it is NOT natural.
