VeryWell explains that while taking Amethyst, certain medical risks can increase in women who smoke, have high cholesterol or high blood pressure, diabetes, or are older than 35. The possible side effects of Amethyst are similar to those of other combination hormonal birth control methods.

If used correctly, Amethyst users should not have their period for the whole year. According to the health information site VeryWell, Amethyst is taken every day of the year and does not include placebo pills instead, each pill is active/hormonal.

The Personal Pak was used in conjunction with the Ortho Cyclen and Ortho Tri-Cyclen brand birth control pills, which came in a blister pack ring that allowed the Personal Pak to be refilled every month. Women could choose from six different cases, including this “Amethyst Floral” style. The Ortho Pharmaceutical Corporation of Raritan, New Jersey, marketed the Personal Pak pill case in 2000. The National Museum of American History’s Division of Medicine and Science’s collection of oral contraceptives illustrates some of the changes that the packaging and marketing of the Pill underwent from its inception in 1960 to the present. Packaging design often incorporated a “memory aid” to assist women in tracking their daily pill regimen, as well as styled cases to allow pills to be discreetly carried in bags and purses. Pill manufacturers developed unique packaging in order to distinguish their product from those of their competitors and build brand loyalty. For the first time, healthy women would be taking medication for an extended period of time.
