Abstract
The development of oral contraceptives (OCs) is briefly discussed. From reviewing the literature it was seen that the 1st "OC" was the harmless, nontoxic, safe, and very inexpensive synthetic estrogen diethylstilbestrol, or stilbestrol, which is still the best OC in 1975. This OC is still prescribed because a toxic dose, even up to 300,000 mg yearly, has never been encountered. The regimen consists of 3-5 mg daily for 26 nights with 3-5 nights shipped, plus a potent B-complex vitamin (Livitamin) 2-3 times daily. This OC is unique in that ovulation and menstrual flow can be inhibited for 60-120 days. The patient can miss from 7-14 days before ovulation occurs, after 1 course of this OC. This regimen provides a harmless, nontoxic, and 100% effective OC.
