What META tag can I include so that the page does not cache itself.

I am trying to prevent the user to use the back browser button to access
the page in question.

Micro$oft says this tag works for basic HTML:
<meta http-equiv="Expires" content="-1">
and this one works for dynamically generated pages:
<meta http-equiv="Pragma" content="no-cache">

I've tried both those methods, however the user still is able to return to the
page with the browser back button.

Expiresabsolute = a date in the past
AddHeader "cache-control","private"

I think broswers can still be set to ignore them.
