E-drug: Norgestrel and combined contraceptive pills (cont'd)
---------------------------------------------
Isolating and marketing individual isomers instead of racemates is
about 3-4x more expensive. Only rarely is an inactive isomer
responsible for (idiosyncratic) side effects; the pharmacological
side effects are - of course - linked to the active isomer. Even our
(pharmaceutical) world is not an ideal world!
