Lybrel: Effective Birth Control Pill

(I-Newswire) October 10, 2007 - The first FDA approved birth control pill Lybrel - manufactured by Wyeth - is showing impressive results. Studies by its manufacturer, have reported that Lybrel completely stops bleeding in more than 70 per cent of women who take it for seven months.

And in global clinical trials involving 2,457 women confirmed the efficacy of Lybrel. Wyeth has described Lybrel as "an important evolution for oral contraception". "For those women seeking contraceptive options and who are interested in putting their period on hold," says Ginger Constantine, M.D., Vice President, Women's Health Care, Wyeth Pharmaceuticals, "Lybrel may be an appropriate choice."

Moreover, it is expected that 3.5 million British women take the Pill. Surveys have found that up to half of women would prefer not to have any periods and most would prefer them less often. It is taken in three-week cycles with a fourth week off for them to have their period. Like most Pills, Lybrel contains a combination of oestrogen and progestogen, but at lower doses, to allow it to be taken without a break.

In a clinical study, Lybrel was found to be as safe and as effective as birth control pills in standard hormone and placebo regimens. Women who suffered the effects of PMT, which can include mood swings, bloating and discomfort also found their symptoms reduced.

But like other available oral contraceptives, Lybrel is effective for prevention of pregnancy when used as directed. The risks of using Lybrel are similar to the risks of other conventional oral contraceptives and include an increased risk of blood clots, heart attacks, and strokes.

In addition, cigarette smoking increases the risk of serious cardiovascular side effects from the use of combination estrogen and progestin-containing contraceptives. And the label also carries the warning that birth control pills do not protect against HIV infection (AIDS) or other sexually transmitted diseases.
