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.
