From ACOG today, despite its proven track record, the Pill is still dogged by myths and misconceptions about its safety and efficacy, according to The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG), which convened experts in the field to address these concerns at a news conference today.
"The Pill works; it's safe; it's easy to use; and it even provides noncontraceptive health benefits," said ACOG President Douglas W. Laube, MD, MEd. "Our goal is to reach women with the basics—The ABCs of OCs. When it comes to birth control, the Pill might very well be a woman's best friend." The Pill leads the way as the most popular method of reversible birth control and is used today by more than 11 million women in the US, he added.
