How it works

Oral Contraception at Core Pharmacy

Oral Contraception Overview: Oral contraceptives, commonly known as birth control pills, prevent pregnancy by regulating hormones to stop ovulation and alter the cervical mucus and uterine lining. They are highly effective when taken correctly and can also help manage menstrual cycles, reduce acne, and alleviate menstrual cramps.

How to Use Oral Contraceptives

  2. Daily Dosage: Take one pill at the same time every day. Consistency is key to maintaining effectiveness. If you miss a dose, refer to the instructions provided with your medication or consult with your doctor for guidance.

  3. Managing Missed Pills: If you miss one pill, take it as soon as you remember, then take the next pill at your regular time. Missing two or more pills may require additional contraception methods, such as condoms, for a short period.

  4. Additional Tips: Keep a spare pack of pills in case you lose one. Use a daily reminder or set an alarm to help you remember to take your pill.
