The excruciating menses may soon be a thing of the past as the novel birth control pill Lybrel, which also eliminates monthly bleeding, is all set to make foray in to the market by this week.

While for majority of women, it is surely great news, some still will be averse to put their period on hold, which is an imperative emblem of womanhood.

Contrived by the Wyeth Pharmaceuticals, Lybrel is a low-dose oral contraceptive. It is likely to utilize the same hormones that have been employed by other birth control pills for decades to avert pregnancy.

Furthermore, most doctors also firmly believe that it is beneficial for women to skip their menses for months or years while taking this new contraceptive.

Lybrel could be incredibly handy for women who want to get rid of menstruation's pessimistic side effects, including cramping, nausea, migraine headaches, breast tenderness, mood changes and breakthrough bleeding.

Wyeth's novel preparation can also be utilized by women who desire not to have period just for the sake of ease.

Though extended oral contraceptives such as Seasonale have been marketed for years, yet they are not free of malicious side effects such as breakthrough bleeding. Approved in 2003, Seasonale curbs the frequency of women's period to just four times a year.

Approved in late May, Lybrel is the first oral contraceptive available to purge the monthly flow. The medication's monthly pack comprises hormone pills that must be taken year-round, without any placebo period.
