High-dosage birth control pills.

Three years ago the FDA approved a birth control pill so powerful it could knock over a horse. Well, OK, it isn’t that strong. But you wonder what kind of thinking went into the kind of decision that puts millions of women at risk.

Plan B, also called the morning after pill, consists of two pills taken days after intercourse. Its hormone dosage is ten times higher than that of normal birth control pills using the same hormone, according to FDA research.

Whaddya think of this: Plan B does not require a prescription, while the birth control pill, taken every day, does. So if the daily birth control pill is strong enough to require a doctor’s appointment, how can a more powerful pill of a similar kind be bought over the counter? Go figure.
