CONTRACEPTIVE PILL

1 - Who invented the pill? Luis Ernesto Miramontes Cárdenas (1925 -

2004) , inventor of the first oral contraceptive , it was a Mexican chemist born in Tepic , Nayarit on March 16, 1925 and died in Mexico City on 13 September 2004 . He studied high school in the National Preparatory School, UNAM, Degree in Chemical Engineering at UNAM, and was research co - founder of the Institute of Chemistry of the same university, conducting research in the area of organic chemistry.

2 - Invention of the tablet The scientific work of Luis Miramontes is very extensive and

covers many written publications and nearly 40 national and international patents in different areas such as organic chemistry, pharmaceutical chemistry, petrochemistry and chemistry of atmospheric pollutants. Among his many contributions to science Mexican and universal synthesis highlights the October 15, 1951, when Miramontes had only 26 years of age, of norethisterone, which is the basis of the first active compound synthetic oral contraceptive, better known as a pill. For this reason he is considered the inventor. Luis E. Miramontes received the patent of the compound with Carl Djerassi, and George Rosenkranz, Mexican chemical company Syntex SA

It is common for the invention of the pill is assigned exclusively to Djerassi or Rosenkranz. Historians, however, agree that the invention - or first synthesis - is because Miramontes. For example, Nobel laureate Max Perutz states that "the October 15, 1951, the chemistry student Luis Miramontes , working under the direction of Djerassi and laboratory director Jorge Rosenkranz synthesized the compound called norethisterone." Djerassi himself corroborates this version stating that it was, in fact, Miramontes who synthesized the compound for the first time

3 - How effective is the pill? Today, thanks to scientific progress and

social, the pill has a higher success rate to 99.9 percent and its side effects are virtually nonexistent in any stage of adulthood for women.4 - At what age should you start
