Ortho Women's Health & Urology Podcast

It may be universally known as "the Pill," but how much do Modern Girls really know about this birth control choice? Since its development more than 45 years ago, the Pill has become the single most widely used birth control method. Although more than 80 percent of American women have taken the Pill at some point in their lives*, common myths about it persist. It's time for a refresher. Noted author and television host of The Modern Girl's Guide series, Jane Buckingham, has teamed up with women's health expert Valerie Schulz, MD, FACOG, and Ortho Women's Health & Urology, maker of ORTHO TRI-CYCLEN(R) LO (norgestimate/ethinyl estradiol), to launch The Modern Girl's Guide to the Pill. The interactive guide is available on the recently re-launched site, www.thepill.com.
