Today Wyeth Pharmaceuticals announced that its oral contraceptive Lybrel is available to consumers across the United States. This is great news for many women who are interested in eliminating their menstrual periods. The drug was originally approved by the FDA in May 22 of this year, and has been receiving a lot of attention in the press for its benefits.
Although some people think it is unnatural to eliminate monthly periods, many experts agree that it is perfectly healthy. Many women who experience cramping, nausea, breast tenderness, migraine headaches or mood changes during their periods could be helped tremendously by taking Lybrel regularly. Side effects of Lybrel are similar to other oral contraceptives, with the most common risk being cardiovascular complications.
