Millions of american women currently take oral contraceptives, which are normally taken for 21 days. For seven days after taking the pills, they either take a break for a week, or take placebos for seven days. During these seven days, the woman has her period.
The new pill functions much like the old pills, but it contains a lower dosage of hormones. This lower dosage is because it is taken every day, instead of only 21 days out of 28. Medical research shows that there should be no reason that most women cannot take the pill everyday.
