Has anyone heard of the BC called Centchroman?

Published

It's a non-hormonal BC pill developed in India that is getting a lot of attention lately. I wondered if any OB/GYN nurses have heard of it. It's not approved by the FDA,and it supposedly does not have the negative side effects that hormonal birth control pills do. I found a message board and quite a few women have started taking it there and really like it. A few have been on it for 3 years.

Yes, I've heard of this method of contraception.

It does not prevent ovulation.

It prevents the already fertilized ovum from implantation.
