Birth Control with Oxford Online Pharmacy: Contraceptive Pills & More

Contraception is an important aspect of sexual health for women around the world. There are various types of contraceptives available, including condoms, diaphragms, intrauterine devices (IUDs), and hormonal methods such as the contraceptive pill. In the UK, the contraceptive pill is a popular choice for many women who wish to prevent pregnancy or alleviate symptoms associated with their menstrual cycle. In this blog post, we’ll explore birth control with Oxford Online Pharmacy, focusing on contraceptive pills and their benefits.

The two main types of oral contraceptive pills are the combined contraceptive pill and the progesterone-only pill (POP). The combined pill, also known as the “pill,” contains both oestrogen and progestin hormones. The POP, on the other hand, contains only progestin hormones. Both types of pills work by preventing ovulation, thickening cervical mucus, and thinning the lining of the uterus to prevent implantation of a fertilized egg.

One of the most popular combined contraceptive pills is Yasmin, which is available on Oxford Online Pharmacy’s website for £23.95 – £44.95. This pill offers 99% effectiveness against pregnancy if taken correctly. In addition to preventing pregnancy, combined pills like Yasmin can help regulate periods, reduce menstrual cramps and pain, and alleviate symptoms of premenstrual syndrome (PMS) and endometriosis. They can also improve acne and reduce the risk of ovarian and endometrial cancer.

Another hormonal contraceptive available through Oxford Online Pharmacy is the Evra patch. This prescription-only method is a combined hormonal contraceptive that contains both progestin and oestrogen hormones. When used correctly, Evra patches are one of the most reliable methods of contraception. They are worn on the skin and need to be replaced once a week. Evra patches can also be used to alleviate period pain and reduce the risk of ovarian and endometrial cancer.

It’s important to note that obtaining a prescription is necessary to obtain the contraceptive pill or patch. At Oxford Online Pharmacy, an online consultation with a GMC registered doctor is available to determine which treatment is suitable for you. This consultation takes place via an online questionnaire, which you can fill out at your own pace. The doctor will review your information and provide a prescription if appropriate. Simply select your contraceptive pills and complete the online doctor’s questionnaire. Your medical information will then be reviewed by our doctor and, if suitable, we will issue a prescription for you.

If your selected treatment is not approved, your payment will be refunded in full. If you already have a private or NHS prescription, you can select your contraceptives and send your prescription to Oxford Online Pharmacy. Your prescribed pills will be dispensed and sent discreetly to you when we have received your prescription. Always be safe from any unwanted or unplanned pregnancies, or treat heavy irregular periods.

In conclusion, contraception is a crucial aspect of sexual health for women. The contraceptive pill is a popular choice for many women in the UK due to its effectiveness and benefits beyond preventing pregnancy. With Oxford Online Pharmacy, obtaining a prescription and ordering your preferred contraceptive method has never been easier. Whether you choose Yasmin or the Evra patch, you can rest assured that you’re taking control of your reproductive health. Prices for these methods range from £11.95 – £65.99 depending on the product, and shipping is available across the UK.
