Oral Contraceptives
Combined Oral Contraceptive pills, also known as birth control pills, contain 2 female hormones, an
estrogen and a progestin, similar to the hormones found in the women's body.
These pills keep your ovaries from releasing an egg. They also cause changes in the cervical mucus and
the lining of the womb to keep the sperm from joining the egg.
Different types of combination birth control pills contain different doses of estrogen and progestin.
Please consult your doctor to learn more about the various combined oral contraceptive pills suitable
for you.
