Creo que el texto en la entrada lo resume bastante bien "la primera medicina para alguien que no esta enfermo": La pildora anticonceptiva.

The first prescription drug for healthy patients, the Pill neither treated nor prevented disease. Instead, taken daily, it prevented pregnancy by changing the hormonal balance in women's bodies.

The Pill far surpassed other contraceptive methods, except abstinence, in effectiveness. All a woman had to do was remember to take it every day. Pill packages quickly evolved to remind women to take their daily doses.
