Made in Shanghai Pharmaceutical Factory, People's Republic of China

History notes

The Chinese govt uses a system of numbered trade names, ie. 'Pill No.1' is the low dose pill consisting of .600 norethindrone & .035mg ethynylestradiol. 'Pill No.2' is 1.0mg megestrol acetate & .035 ethynylestradiol. Most women on the pill are on the low dose Pill No.1, but if irregularities occur they are shifted to Pill No.2. Pill No.4 consists of .005mg ethynylestradiol. [Unable to determine what the composition is of Pill No. 0.]
