If you are taking birth control pills: Pfizer announced a recall of almost 1 million packs of oral contraceptives because of an error in packaging, which in some cases could mean that you are MORE likely to become pregnant! Please check your packets – Pfizer recalled certain lots of the pill Lo/Ovral-38 as well as lots of the generic version norgestrel and ethinyl estradiol tablets. The affected packets have expiration dates ranging between July 31, 2013, and March 31, 2014, and the lot numbers are located on Pfizer’s website. If you are taking one of these, use a non-hormonal contraceptive, immediately, notify your doctor and return the pills to your pharmacy.
