All contraceptive pills consist of a synthetic form of the natural hormone progestin and oestrogen. The two main types of pills on our website are the combined pill (containing both of the above hormones) or mini pill containing just the hormone progesterone (progesterone only pill). When taken exactly as directed, the pill is 99% effective and one of the most reliable forms of contraception. It has a very high degree of protection against pregnancy.

The combined pill works by mimicking a pregnancy in the body, thereby preventing you from ovulating. It also thickens the mucus around the cervix, which in turn makes it difficult for sperm to get through. The progesterone only pill works in two ways, in some women it prevents ovulation, in others it can work by thickening the mucus at the entrance to the womb.
Some daily pills are known to increase blood pressure, as such the prescriber will need to know your recent blood pressure reading as this can be affected whilst on the pill. It is important to note that not everyone will react the same way with certain pills i.e. not everyone on the daily pill will experience any issues with their blood pressure.
