Enovid

Syntex licensed norethindrone to Parke-Davis for development. Eventually, Parke-Davis decided not to market it because of fears about a possible boycott of their other products by groups who were opposed to birth control. Searle had no such concerns and brought its pill to the market in 1960 under the name Enovid. In the meantime, Syntex was forced to find another partner and finally settled on the Ortho division of Johnson Johnson. The norethindrone pill was first marketed in 1962 under the name Ortho-Novum. By 1965 the pill" was the most popular form of birth control. [Pg.1205]

There has been considerable concern about the health effects of the pill, and many studies have been done. These are extremely powerful compounds and are taken by a large number of healthy women over an extended period, not to cure disease, but to prevent pregnancy. Although there was some evidence for heightened risk of cardiovascular disease in early studies, this risk decreased as the amount of estrogen in the pill was decreased. Today, the amount of estrogen has been reduced from 150 pg per pill for Enovid to 30 to 35 pg per pill. The progestin component has also been reduced, and the pill is a relatively safe method of birth control. [Pg.1205]
