The ASU College
is dedicated to be “an inclusive world-class enterprise of discovery that
prepares innovative, evidence-based healthcare providers, educators, leaders and researchers.”

The Dean of the College at ASU welcomed Precision Trials to this new Board to help achieve
the unique mission of the Center: “to serve as a recognized, national focal point among
clinicians, biotechnical organizations, scientists, collaborating healthcare institutions, and community partners to advance healthcare through the creation of evidence-based innovative products and educational programs.”

build its foundation as an international center for clinical research.” “It is vital for medical providers who are supporting the healthcare needs of Arizonans to become involved in the clinical research requirements of the medical industry to improve the health of our local community,” said Levin.

With three valley locations Precision Trials primarily focuses on Clinical Trials within the Women’s Health space.

Precision Trials, LLC, was incorporated in Arizona in 2006. Prior to its incorporation, the
company operated as an ancillary department of the OB-GYN practice of the Arizona Wellness

Birth control pills are very effective in preventing pregnancy, but they’re also reversible because fertility returns if you stop taking them. Birth control pills also reduce menstrual cramps, menstrual pain, and have proven to be quite safe.  Although there are many advantages of taking birth control pills, most pills have possible side effects in some women.

There are so many methods for birth control. You can decide on which method to choose after consulting with your gynecologist.

Some of the birth control methods are; birth control pills, birth control patch (which is changed weekly) and the vaginal rings (which are changed once a month). Cervical barrier methods are also some birth control devices that are affordable and simple to use. The methods involved are latex diaphragm, cervical cap, contraceptive sponge, female condom and Lea’s shield.

Women prefer different types of birth control methods. The birth control patch or the Ortho Evra is a thin plastic patch which is 4 1/2 centimeters square patch which sticks to your skin to prevent you from getting pregnant.

Types of Birth Control Pills

(No Ratings Yet)

Today there are so many types of birth control pills available in the marketplace; some women may feel overwhelmed in selecting the right one. Some pills may have side effects, so every woman interested should consult a gynecologist before they start using birth control pills on a regular basis.

The three basic types of birth control pills are mini pills, combination pills and emergency pills.
Mini pills contain no estrogen and are also sometimes called progestin-only pills or POP. These have been considered by many users as the most effective birth control pill available. They come in a packet of 28 pills, and should be taken daily at the same time each day. An important consideration to remember is that forgetting to take your pill may increase the chance of pregnancy.

Positive considerations include that the mini pill:

• Does not affect the production of milk, so it can be used by breast feeding women.
• Has no estrogen.
• Does not have the typical side effects of other birth control pills.
• Reduces menstrual cramps.
• Is easy to use and reversible (fertility returns if it is stopped).
• Results in less acne.
• Prevents anemia.
• Offers protection against certain types of cancer.
