Mini pill - Low Dosage Birth Control Pill

Oral contraceptive pills, a type of hormonal contraception, have been proven to be quite an effective method of contraception. An oral contraceptive pill consists of synthetic female hormones, with the help of which a pill works towards preventing pregnancy in women. A contraceptive pill can be a combination pill, which consists of two synthetic female hormones, oestrogen and progestogen. A contraceptive pill, otherwise, can be a mini-pill, which consists of only one synthetic female hormone. A mini-pill is often referred to as ‘progestogen only pill’. Mini-pills work in two different ways for protecting women against pregnancy. Cerazette is one of the most commonly used mini-pills. It has been proven to be almost 99% effective in preventing women from getting pregnant. This pill consists of desogestrel, synthetic oestrogen, as its active ingredient. This is one of the two pills which functions in a similar way to that of a combination pill. Cerazette tricks your body into believing that ovulation has already occurred. It thus prevents the production of an egg, just like a combination pill. Secondly, it thickens the cervical mucus in your womb, which prevents a sperm from entering and fertilising an egg.

Lastly, Cerazette alters your womb lining so as to prevent an egg from attaching and growing further. Another popular mini-pill used commonly by women around the world is Micronor. This pill consists of norethisterone, synthetic progestogen, as its active ingredient. This pill has been proven to be almost 100% effective in preventing a woman from getting pregnant. As this pill does not consist of oestrogen, it is suitable for women who are allergic to the component. You are required to take Micronor pills for all 28 days your menstrual cycle. You are not to take any break in between the packs. Noriday is another popular mini-pill that is used by women across the globe. This pill has been proven to be almost 100% effective in preventing women from getting pregnant. It consists of norethisterone, synthetic progestogen, as its active ingredient. This pill protects you against pregnancy in two different ways. It thickens the cervical mucus in your womb so as to prevent a sperm from entering your womb and fertilising an egg. It then alters your womb lining so as to prevent an egg, if produced and fertilised, from attaching itself to your womb and growing further. You are required to take this pill for all 28 days of your menstrual cycle.

Femulen is another of the popular mini-pills used by women around the world. This pill consists of etynodiol diacetate, a synthetic version of progestogen, as its active ingredient. This pill has been proven to be almost 100% effective in preventing women from getting pregnant. This pill can be taken by women who are breastfeeding and who are allergic to oestrogen. Femulen can protect women against pregnancy in two ways. Firstly, it thickens the cervical mucus in your womb so as to prevent a sperm from entering your womb and fertilising an egg. Secondly, it alters your womb lining so as to prevent an egg from attaching and growing further.
