Contraceptive pill or ‘the pill’ is taken by women to prevent unwanted conception. They are either taken regularly over a monthly schedule or are used immediately after coitus for the purpose of contraception.
Pills which are taken after coitus are known as emergency contraceptive pills. These are meant to be taken within 72 hours of sexual activity to prevent pregnancy.
Contraceptive pills or birth control pills which are taken over a monthly cycle, come in two formulations, that is, as a combined pill and a mini pill. Both these pills come with different drug compositions.
These pills function by interfering with the process of the ovulatory cycle, that is, the reproductive cycle in females which releases an egg each month and makes it available for fertilisation.
All the types of pills are effective in the process of birth control but have their own set of benefits, risks and side effects, which is why they must not be taken without your physician’s consult. When using these pills with a prescription, it is important that you be careful to take them on the specified time and never miss a dose as this reduces its contraceptive actions.
Let’s discuss more about the mechanism, benefits, dosage, risks, uses and side effects of these pills through this article.
