For My Ladies
Me and my roommate were discussing this matter a few nights ago, and it has to do with the chewable birth control pill. My stance on it? Why? Why would you want to take a chewable birth control pill, in my head it wouldn't be as effective but according to research it's just as effective as orally taking one..According to MSNBC: The first chewable birth-control method, a tiny, spearmint-flavored tablet that also can be swallowed without chewing, has hit pharmacy shelves. Femcon Fe, which contains the same hormones as standard oral contraceptives, offers a new option for women who don't like swallowing pills and want to take their birth control with them, according to Carl Reichel, president of drugmaker Warner Chilcott of Rockaway.
What's your take on this? It's not that expensive, running about $44 for a months supply, plus it tastes like mint! Would you switch to this form of contraceptive?

No, I wouldn't. I don't think that it would be as effective if you chewed it. Why? Because you won't be getting the full dose. You're going to have some stuck in your teeth and cheeks, unless you gargle some water or something and swallow it afterwards. Hope what I said made some sense.
