Can you suggest some contraceptive pills and how frequently I can take them?
Asked by Female, 22 · 1 month ago
Common contraceptive pills include combined oral contraceptives like Femilon, Marvelon, Yasmin, or Ovral?G, which are usually taken once daily at the same time for 21 days, followed by a 7-day break or placebo tablets. There are also progestin-only pills, taken daily without a break. The exact pill and schedule should be chosen with your doctor based on your health, cycle, and needs to ensure safe and effective contraception.
