The drug is also referred to as tanqinyao, "the Chinese vacation pill" or "the pill for visiting relatives," given that it is a recommended contraception method for couples[19] who have frequent sex within a short period, as may be the case for Chinese couples who live apart for most of the year due to work.[19]: 175
Anordrin is not approved for use in the United States because each pill is near, or in excess of, the total monthly maximum allowable hormone dose in the American system.[19]: 175
