Birth control pills have come a long way from their discovery in the 60s to their present form and are a preferred choice of birth control for as many as 18 million women.

The most important benefit of the birth control pill is that it helps in prevention of ovarian cancer and also cancer of endometrium which is the lining of the uterus. Other benefits of these pills include reduction in cramps during the menstrual cycle.

Over the years there have also been many reports about the side effects of these birth control pills. Following these reports authorities have had to keep a close watch on these oral contraceptives. Since women tend to take these pills for a long period of time this medicine has been subjected to comprehensive studies in order to determine serious side effects if any.
