Chewable Birth Control
Just in time for the new year, the FDA has approved the first low-dose chewable birth control contraceptive.
The daily chew will be marketed by Watson Pharmaceuticals, Inc. Fred Wilkinson, executive vice president of Global Brands said: “We believe this product is an important addition to the oral contraceptive category, and that its characteristics will make it a desirable choice for women.”
I have to ask myself: “Why?”
Most birth control failures occur because the woman forgets to take the pill. Will a chewable be more reliant? Is it aimed at gals who just love chewing gum? I don’t get the concept.
Marketing for this breakthrough will begin the in the second quarter of 2011.
