What Are Oral Contraceptives?

Oral contraceptives are birth control pills taken regularly to help prevent pregnancy.

Different types of contraceptive pills are available. They contain hormones that work mainly by preventing or delaying ovulation.

Your healthcare provider can explain the different options and help you choose a method based on your health and contraceptive needs.

How Does the Pill Work?

The contraceptive pill works mainly by preventing ovulation. It can also make it harder for sperm to reach an egg.

The pill needs to be taken as directed to provide effective pregnancy prevention.

Your healthcare provider will explain how to take your prescribed contraceptive and what to do if you miss a pill.

Benefits of Oral Contraceptives

Some women choose the contraceptive pill because it:

  • Helps prevent pregnancy
  • Can be stopped when you decide to try for pregnancy
  • May make periods more regular
  • May reduce period pain for some women
  • Can be used as part of a regular family planning plan

The benefits and possible side effects can vary from person to person.

Is the Pill Right for You?

The contraceptive pill may not be suitable for everyone.

Your healthcare provider will ask about your health, medical history and any medicines you take before recommending a contraceptive option.

This helps ensure that your chosen method is appropriate for you.

Taking It Right

Taking the Pill Correctly

  • When to start taking the pill
  • How often to take it
  • What to do if you miss a pill
