The US Food and Administration stated that they have approved the new birth control pill Natazia, by Bayer AG. The pill, already sold in Europe under the brand name Qlaira, is the first four-phase oral contraceptive to be marketed in the USA.
Natazia delivers doses of the hormone progestin four times throughout each 28-day treatment cycle.”Nearly 12 million women in the United States and more than 100 million women worldwide currently use oral contraceptives,” said the FDA’s Dr. Scott Monroe.”The approval of Natazia provides another option for women who choose to use an oral contraceptive as their method of contraception.”
Two studies of 1,867 women found Natazia was very good, with many of the same side effects as other birth control pills, the FDA said. Bayer had also claimed that the drug could also reduce excessive menstrual bleeding.
