Take the right decision with combination pills

The majority of sexually active people are aware of the consequences of having unprotected sex. This is the reason contraception has become an important part of their daily life. The daily oral contraceptives have proved to be an effective method of contraception. The contraceptive pills can be classified as combination pill and mini-pill. A combined pill is composed of both the synthetic hormones, oestrogen and progestogen, while the mini-pill consists of a single hormone, progestogen.

Yasmin is a combination pill which contains ethinylestradiol (synthetic oestrogen) and drospirenone (artificial progestogen) as its primary active ingredient. It can prevent pregnancy in three unique and effective ways. First, it stops ovulation by making the body believe that ovulation has already occurred. This averts the release of an egg from the ovaries. Secondly, it causes the thickening of the cervical mucus so that the penetration of the womb by a sperm and fertilising an egg becomes difficult. If the above mentioned ways do not prove successful and an egg is produced and fertilised, the uterine lining is also altered due to which an egg is unable to embed itself and grow. Yasmin is also popular as it does not allow water retention in your body and decreases the risk of weight gain. You can buy Yasmin pill online from any of the registered online pharmacies.

Mercilon is a combined pill which is very popular amongst women. The two synthetic female hormones present in this pill are ethinylestradiol (artificial oestrogen) and desogestrel (artificial progestogen). This pill contains less oestrogen as compared to any other combination pill, making it safe for women who are sensitive to oestrogen. Mercilon also offers you the advantage of reduced menstrual pain by regulating the pre-menstrual symptoms. This pill also reduces the risk of weight gain, unlike some oral contraceptive pills. This pill is most effective when it is taken on the first day of your period. The effectiveness can also continue if you start taking it from the fifth day, but you will be required to use extra protection for the next seven days. You need to take this pill every day at the same time. The pill is to be taken for 21 days of your menstrual cycle followed by a break of seven days.

Femodette is an effective combined contraceptive pill which contains ethinylestradiol and gestodene as its active ingredient. Gestodene is a ‘third generation’ artificial version of the progestogen hormone. These hormones are considered more safe and reliable than the ‘second generation’ hormone. This pill is prescribed usually to women who experience heavy, irregular and painful periods. It has also proven helpful in treating acne, polycystic ovary syndrome and hirsutism (excess body hair). It performs the similar three functions to prevent pregnancy. However, you should avoid this medication if you have a history of heart diseases, high blood pressure, migraines, kidney failure, diabetes or jaundice. You can buy combination pills from any of the registered online clinics.
