I believe the correct percentage for most pills is somewhere between 98% and 99,6%



Not every woman can take birth control pills. I have a friend who found herself having cold flashes and actually forgetting hours of her daily activities while on them, and her doctor told her to go off them when she finally became suicidal.
Drugs effect our bodies in different ways. Kaz cannot enjoy the relief that pain killers provide, if I remember right. The birth control pill does not work for every woman, and not every woman in the world has the stable mentality to remember a pill a day.
