• Which pill is right for me?

  Health professionals will take a thorough medical check before choosing the right contraceptive pill for you.

  For most people, the combined contraceptive pill works best.

  For those who are over 35, smoke, suffer from a migraine or have other risk factors your doctor will look into, the Progesterone-only pill may be more suitable.

• Am I protected straight away?

  Some pills, if taken correctly, will provide protection immediately, while others take time to provide contraceptive cover.

  Refer to your patient information leaflet to find out when you are protected on your pill.

• Do I still need to use a condom?

  Although you will be covered against pregnancy with the pill, it is always advised to use a condom. This is to reduce the risk of sexually transmitted disease such as chlamydia and gonorrhea.

• I forgot to take my pill – what should I do?

  You should always take your pill around the same time each day to ensure maximum contraceptive cover.

  Different pills vary in the amount of time you can delay your dose.

  Always refer to your prescribed medication’s patient information leaflet to find more detailed information relating to missed doses.
