Learn More About Progestogen-Only Pill

There are many types of birth control pills that are available on the market. The progestogen-only pill (POP) is a safe pill to use. Let us have a look at some different types of POP pills so that you can choose from them. Always consult a doctor before choosing a pill.

Cerazette  
This hormonal contraceptive is also known as the mini pill or the progestogen-only pill (POP). The active ingredient of this pill is desogesterl and this is a synthetic progestogen, which is similar to natural progestogens that are produced by the body. Cerazette works by preventing the release of an egg from the ovary and this prevents ovulation. It also thickens the cervical mucus so that the sperm cannot reach the womb.

Femulen

This is also a progestogen-only pill (POP) but this medication contains etynodiol, which is synthetic progestogen and it is quite similar to natural progestogens that are produced by the body. This pill works by affecting the cervical mucus and increasing its thickness and this makes it more difficult for sperm to reach the uterus. Femulen can prevent the release of an egg from the ovaries, but this does not occur in all women who take this mini-pill.

Noriday 

These tablets should be taken regularly at the same time every day. You should start using this pill on the first day of your period and continue taking it until the pack is over. This pill is very different from the combined pill. Noriday should be taken at the same time every day and if you are more than three hours late in taking it, you will no longer be prevented against pregnancy.
