1 Lybrel is a no-period birth control pill. 2  It is the first low dose birth control pill designed to be taken 365 days, without a placebo or pill-free interval. 3  Seasonale has 12 weeks of estrogen/progestin pills, followed by 7 days of no-hormone pills -- which means 4 menstrual periods a year.
It was the first extended-cycle birth control pill designed to supply an active dose of hormones every day to completely stop your period for a full year. Each pack of Lybrel contained 365 pills that were made up of 90 micrograms levonorgestrel and 20 micrograms ethinyl estradiol. Lybrel was approved for use by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration on May 22, 2007 as the first, and only, birth control pill that was designed to eliminate women's monthly periods.
