most popular birth-control pill.
[ In 1998, after intensive marketing on
prime-time television shows and in

was No. 1, according to IMS Health, a
health-care information company based

Generally, the estrogen in birth
control pills is thought to decrease the
level oi other hormones in the Doay

of acne-producing agents. But OrthoMcNeil
says its pill is different from
others because it contains a patented

The trustees yesterday asked
us, "Whatever happened to an A being

faculty still grade on the curve. It's still
as diverse as the faculty we have here

have access to until the company's
patent expires. Progestin, the second
hormone present in birth-control pills,
is thought to interfere with the acnereducing
benefits of estrogen. But
Norgestimate doesn't have that effect,
said Dr. Joel Lippman, vice president
of clinical trials for Ortho-McNeil.
The drug does come with some
caveats, urtno in-uycien is recommended
by the FDA as an acne

manufacturing jobs ... now we're trying
to get into the white-collar, hightechnology
companies. A great research

If you go around Duke, Chapel

Legislature to help us build a great
