Alternative MedicineOctober 17, 2012Written by Ian Caspar939 views
Women around the world use different methods of contraception to protect them from falling pregnant. Hormonal contraceptive pills have proven to be very effective in preventing women from getting pregnant. The most popular hormonal contraceptive method is oral contraceptive pills, which can be either combination pills or mini pills. Combination pills are one of the most effective and commonly used contraceptive pills by women. The combination pills consist of two artificial female hormones of oestrogen and progestogen. With the help of these two ingredients, the combination pills are able to protect women against pregnancy in three different ways.
What is Binovum?Binovum is a popular combination pill and is known as a biphasic pill. This indicates that the pill comes in two different packs, each containing the same dosage of oestrogen and different dosages of progestogen. This pill consists of ethinylestradiol (artificial oestrogen) and norethisterone (artificial progestogen) as its active ingredients. The Binovum contraceptive pill protects you against pregnancy by tricking your body into believing that ovulation has already occurred so that an egg is not produced. Secondly, it thickens the cervical mucus in your womb so that sperm is unable to enter and fertilize an egg. And lastly, it alters the womb lining so that an egg is unable to attach and grow further.
What is Cilest?The Cilest pill is also a popular combination pill, which has been used by thousands of women to prevent pregnancy. This pill consists of ethinylestradiol (artificial oestrogen) and norgestimate (artificial progestogen) as its active ingredients. You are required to take this pill for 21 days of your 28 day menstrual cycle, with a break of 7 days in between, during which you are likely to experience a withdrawal bleed. This pill has been proven to be almost 100% effective in preventing women from getting pregnant. Apart from helping in preventing pregnancy, the Cilest pill also helps in reducing painful periods, heavy menstrual flow, mood swings and bloating during your periods.
What is Yasmin?The Yasmin pill is the most commonly and popular used combination pill, which is commonly referred to as ‘the pill’. It consists of ethinylestradiol (artificial oestrogen) and drospirenone (artificial progestogen) as its active ingredients. You are required to take one Yasmin pill on a daily basis for 21 days of your 28 day menstrual cycle. The pill is most effective if it is taken on the very first day of your period. But if you take it later that the first day of your period, it is advisable to use protection for the next seven days. This pill also improves your skin appearance and reduces excessive hair growth.
What is Logynon?Logynon is another of the popularly and commonly used combination pills, and has been proven to be almost 100% effective in protecting women against pregnancy. It consists of ethinylestradiol (artificial oestrogen) and levonorgestrel (artificial progestogen) as its active ingredients. The Logynon pill is a triphasic pill, which means that it consists of the same dosage of oestrogen and different dosages of progestogen in each pack. The different dosages of the pill resemble the natural fluctuation in your hormonal balance. This helps in reducing the probability of the side effects that you can experience.
