\"After iPod, Ipill gains popularity with youth\", reported the midday. Cipla is all set to make sure ipill is the most used emergency contraceptive pill available.

It would be terrible if young people decide to adopt the convenient route: Condom nahi hai? Koi baat nahin - you can always use the iPill. So let\'s go ahead anyways..The danger of using ipill is forseenj. Thereshould be some statutory warning on the pill cover to aviod it from misuse.

its very unfortunate that govt is allowing media to promote this pill
and medical shops are selling it to girls of all ages, even minors

it became like a license to do anything at will

poori

the reason maybe they are much concentrating on population growth...  ;) ;) ;) ;) ;)

Ranjana

population need to be controlled but not like this: encouraging teenagers without side-effcts knowledge to live at will
