NEW YORK, Jun 13, 2002/ FW/ --- And you thought you have heard it all!

A fashion and pharmaceutical first, designer Nicole Miller adds her signature style to ORTHO TRI-CYCLEN®, a very popular birth control pill with the creation of "Red High Heels" and "Zebra Kiss" tablet dispensers.

"Most women want to integrate style into every aspect of their lives, and express themselves through clothing and accessories and now, even through stylish pill packaging," said designer Nicole Miller.

"Since the Pill is a daily routine for millions of women, I'm passionate about designing a beautiful and fashionable compact that women feel confident taking with them anywhere."

In a survey of 120 PERSONAL PAK users, half of the respondents (50 percent) said they were more likely to take their birth control pill on time as a result of using the compacts.

These stylish packs join the PERSONAL PAK family -- the only collection of fashionably discreet birth control pill packaging. Women can now choose from six styles, including Zebra Kiss, Red High Heels, Leopard Print, Fuchsia Daisy, Lapis and Onyx.
