Regulatory compliance
Women may reduce or discontinue use of affected contraceptives, increasing demand for alternative birth control methods. Potential increase in healthcare costs from litigation, medical monitoring, and treatment of affected individuals. Consumer confidence in hormonal contraceptives may decline, affecting market demand.
