I read on another post that someone was asking about this pill and said it was placebo or something... is this true? I didn't know that they actually made Placebo pills outside of research... anyway, found these pills downtown at a bar but couldn't really find any info online about them, thanks!

If so, I have seen those as well, what looks like a b on one side, and 143 on the other. My wifes birth control pills have those exact markings on them, and the white ones ARE placebos, in order to keep her taking her pill on a daily basis when she runs out of the blue ones.
What are ethinyl estradiol; norgestimate tablets?ETHINYL ESTRADIOL/NORGESTIMATE (Ortho-Cyclen®, Ortho Tri-Cyclen®, Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo®, Previfem™, Sprintec™) products are effective as oral contraceptives (birth control pills or 'the pill'). These products combine natural or synthetic estrogens and progestins, similar to the natural sex hormones (estrogen and progesterone) produced in a woman's body. Ethinyl estradiol is an estrogen and norgestimate is a progestin. These products can prevent ovulation and pregnancy. In general, a combination of estrogen and progestin works better than a single-ingredient product. Ethinyl estradiol/norgestimate tablets can also help regulate menstrual flow, treat acne, or may be used for other hormone related problems in females. The type and amount of estrogen and/or progestin may be different from one product to another.
