A contraceptive breakthrough with Dianette, ellaOne and Micronor
There has been a tremendous increase in awareness of sexual precautions even amongst younger generation. This has led to an increase in the demand for various birth control options or contraceptive methods. Condoms have always been used regularly by men, but sometimes condoms break, slip or tear, exposing you to a fear of pregnancy. It is good for sexually active people if they are aware of numerous birth control options. They can have their preference according to their lifestyle, health conditions or need. Contraceptive pills, also known as birth control pills, are almost 100% effective and very easy to use. They provide the highest level of protection against pregnancy.
The contraceptive pills can be categorised into combined contraceptive pill and mini-pill. The combination pill is composed of both female hormones known as oestrogen and progestogen, while the mini-pill contains only progestogen. There is another form of contraception known as emergency contraception, also known as morning after pill. As the name suggests, the morning after pill protects you from pregnancy after an unprotected sexual encounter and can be taken for up to three – five days after contraceptive failure. You can buy your choice of contraceptive pill from any of the registered online clinics.
Dianette is a popular combined contraceptive pill which is known for not only preventing pregnancy, but also helps in treating problem of acne or hirsutism (excess body hair). The synthetic hormones present in this medication reduce excess hair growth and greasy skin. Sometimes this pill may also show some mild side effects which gradually reduces as the body adjusts to the hormonal level. Some of the common side effects are nausea, headache, stomach upset, changes in menstrual bleeding, decreased sex drive and weight change. Dianette pills should not be taken if you are already pregnant, breastfeeding or suffer from diabetes, high cholesterol, and liver or heart problems.
Micronor is a mini-pill which means it contains only the progestogen hormone. This is considered to be an ideal pill for women who are above 35 years, are regular smokers, breastfeeding or allergic to the effects of oestrogen hormone. Unlike combined contraceptive pills, this pill should be taken for 28 days instead of 21, without a break. It is available only for women who are above 18 years of age and do not suffer from diabetes, cancer, liver diseases, heart diseases or migraine.
ellaOne is a form of emergency contraception which is effective for up to five days after having an unprotected sexual encounter. Ulipristal acetate, the active ingredient of this medication, works in a similar way as other contraceptive methods to prevent the process of ovulation and stopping a fertilized egg from attaching itself to the womb lining. Most of the women can safely take this emergency contraception pill. However, you should avoid taking this medication if you are allergic to the active ingredient ulipristal acetate. If you are taking other medications like HIV medicines, epilepsy medications (such as phenytoin, carbamazepine and Phenobarbital,) or any other treatment for stomach ulcers, then it is advisable to disclose this openly to your doctor before you are prescribed ellaOne.
