More effective way of birth control MEXICO CITY: Mexican researchers have found a more effective way of birth control using just three pills instead of the traditional dosage of 25 over the menstrual cycle, reports Xinhua.

The Mexican Social Security Institute (IMSS) said Tuesday that taking three birth control pills in the first 72 hours of the menstrual period was more effective in preventing pregnancy.

This was because the first three menstrual days were the key to modifying the human hormone cycle that regulated fertility.

The three pills, one for each day. will be made up of estrogen, a hormone similar to that produced by a woman’s ovaries but in much smaller quantity.

Vicente Cortes Gallegos, a researcher in the Gynecology-Obstetrics Hospital run by the IMSS. explained that the finding was based on observation of the critical phase of ovulation.

He said that by taking the pills at the beginning of the menstrual cycle, the hormone which regulated fertility could be altered without having to take more pills thereafter.

Gallegos said that the dosage of birth control pills would de crease by 90 per cent thanks to the new contraceptive method, while birth control costs would drop by more than 50 per cent.
