Why Use Contraceptives?

Contraceptives help prevent unplanned pregnancies and can also support hormone balance, reduce menstrual pain, and improve skin health. With many options available, from pills to long-acting methods, it’s important to choose what works best for you.

Types of Contraceptives Available

At Pharma Centric, we can help you understand the different options:

  • Oral Contraceptive Pills – Combined or progestogen-only pills taken daily.
  • Contraceptive Patch – A small patch worn on the skin, changed weekly.
  • Vaginal Ring – A flexible ring inserted into the vagina for three weeks each month.
  • Contraceptive Injection – Administered every 8–13 weeks, depending on the type.
  • Emergency Contraception – Pills taken after unprotected sex to help prevent pregnancy.

We can also advise on other methods such as intrauterine devices (IUDs), implants, and barrier methods like condoms.

Who Should Consider Contraceptives?

Contraceptives are suitable for anyone wanting to avoid pregnancy or regulate their menstrual cycle. You may benefit from discussing contraception with a pharmacist or GP if you:

  • Are sexually active but not planning a pregnancy.
  • Have irregular or painful periods.
  • Are looking for a hormone-free method.
  • Need emergency contraception after unprotected sex.
  • Want a long-term or low-maintenance option.
