What is the Contraceptive Pill?

The contraceptive pill is a trusted and widely used method of birth control that contains hormones to prevent pregnancy. It works by:
✔ Preventing Ovulation – Stops the release of an egg from the ovaries.
✔ Thickening Cervical Mucus – Makes it harder for sperm to reach the egg.
✔ Thinning the Uterine Lining – Reduces the chances of a fertilised egg implanting in the womb.

When taken correctly, the contraceptive pill is over 99% effective in preventing pregnancy, making it one of the most reliable forms of contraception available.

Types of Contraceptive Pills Available

We provide both types of contraceptive pills, giving you flexibility based on your personal health and preferences:

🔹 The Combined Pill
  • Contains both oestrogen and progestogen.
  • Helps regulate menstrual cycles and reduce period pain.
  • May improve skin conditions such as acne.
  • Can be paused or adjusted to manage period timing.
  • Requires daily intake, ideally at the same time each day.

    🔹 The Progestogen-Only Pill (Mini Pill)
  • Contains only progestogen, making it suitable for women who cannot take oestrogen.
  • A good option for breastfeeding mothers.
  • Reduces the risk of blood clot-related side effects.
  • Must be taken at the same time each day to maintain effectiveness.

    Our pharmacy team will help you determine the most suitable pill based on your medical history, lifestyle, and contraceptive needs.

    Most women can take the contraceptive pill safely. However, it may not be suitable for those with:
    ❌ A history of blood clots or stroke
    ❌ Uncontrolled high blood pressure
    ❌ Severe migraines with aura
    ❌ Liver disease or certain types of cancer
    ❌ Smoking habits combined with being over 35 years old.
    If any of these conditions apply to you, our pharmacist can help you explore alternative contraception options.
