As the name suggests, oral contraception pills are tablets taken regularly by mouth. There are many different names used for the oral contraceptive pill. Sometimes they are referred to by their different brand names such as Cilest or Marvelon. Sometimes you may hear them referred to as 'the pill', 'mini pill' or 'birth control'. Most accurately though, they are described by their active ingredients.
The combined pill (also know as 'the pill') contains two synthetic versions of the female hormones oestrogen and progesterone. It works to stop ovulation and also prevents sperm from getting to an egg. It also stops fertilised eggs from being able to implant in the womb. The combined pill either comes in strips of 28 - where a pill is taken daily, or strips of 21 - where 7 pill free days are observed per cycle.
The progesterone-only pill (also known as POP or 'the mini pill') only contains one hormone, namely progesterone. More accurately, it actually contains a synthetic version of this female hormone called progestin. It works to stop ovulation, prevents sperm from reaching an egg and stops fertilised eggs from implanting in the womb. Mini-pills come in strips of 28 tablets, one to be taken daily.

During the online medical questionnaire you will be asked the name of your current contraceptive pill or the pill you have taken in the past. We will provide you with a list of the most common contraceptive pills used in the UK. Your doctor can prescribe all combined and mini-pills that are commonly used in the UK. Your doctor will not prescribe you any contraceptive pills that are not licensed in the UK.
Your doctor can offer you ongoing prescriptions. After your initial three month medication, you can request a further prescription but you must have your blood pressure checked before requesting another prescription. Your doctor needs to be sure that your contraceptive pill hasn't raised your blood pressure. You do not need to visit a doctor; most pharmacies will check your blood pressure for free.
