Oral Contraceptive
notes: label: Description (Brief)
content: This oral contraceptive was produced by an unknown manufacturer during the second half of the 20th century. It has a unique design as both a memory aid and dispenser. The paper tab on the left lists the days of the week, with a notched side to allow for different days to be assigned to different pills. The 21 pills are stacked in a plastic vial, with directions to begin taking a white pill on day five, until day 21, when the 5 pink tablets will be taken for the next 5 days.
