The contraceptive pill or birth control pill remains one of the most popular forms of contraception for women due to its ease of administration, high protective rate and few side effects.  Pharmacy Planet offers a full range of contraceptive pills and other birth control options.

Since birth control pills, or contraceptive pills, have become more readily available, as a woman it’s never been easier to be in control of your own sexual and reproductive health. There are a wide variety of ways to prevent an unwanted pregnancy, including a birth control implant and the emergency contraceptive pill. 

These are pills used for controlling birth commonly referred to as ‘the pill’ which contains hormones that change the functioning of the body. The pills are a type of female contraception and are quite effective in preventing pregnancy. The two hormones found in the pills are a man-made form of progestin and oestrogen which occur naturally in a woman’s body. These hormones stops ovulation from taking place thus no egg is released during a woman’s menstrual cycle. Progestin as well makes the mucus found around the cervix to be thick and sticky thus preventing sperms from gaining entrance to the uterus.

Most women trust contraceptive pills for preventing pregnancy.  Contraceptive pills usually trick your body that you are already pregnant, they also prevent women from ovulating and then creating cervical mucus that is thick enough to prevent the sperm from penetrating.
