Ortho Women's Health & Urology™, Division of Ortho-McNeil-Janssen
Pharmaceuticals, Inc—A contraceptive pioneer
With the introduction of the first prescription contraceptive over 75 years ago,
Ortho Women's Health & Urology™ has been a pioneer in advancing reproductive health. Among its many "firsts" was the development of the first prescription contraceptive vaginal jelly and the first contraceptive diaphragm.
New insights about hormone combinations that could prevent pregnancy helped pave the way for Ortho’s introduction of the Pill in 1960. As the use of the Pill expanded, Ortho introduced the first progestin-only birth control pill, the first multiphasic birth control pill, the first birth control pill to receive an indication to treat moderate acne, and the first and only transdermal birth control patch.
Ortho Women's Health & Urology™ is a leader in the fields of women's health and urology and is committed to providing patients with products that help them live healthier lives.
