Finding Your Perfect Match:
We understand that choosing the right birth control pill can feel confusing. At Rexmed, we offer a variety of options to suit different needs and preferences. Whether you prioritise period regularity, minimal side effects, or a specific hormone type, we can help you explore the possibilities. We currently have 4 different options as shown above.
 

Meet the Main Players:
There are two main types of birth control pills:

1. Combination pills - These contain two hormones - estrogen and progestin. Estrogen helps regulate your menstrual cycle, while progestin prevents ovulation (the release of an egg). This is the most common type of pill.

2. Progestin-only pills (POPs) - These include just one hormone - progestin. They work primarily by thickening cervical mucus, making it harder for sperm to reach the egg.
 

What's the Difference?

Choosing the Right Pill:
The best pill for you depends on several factors, including your health history, lifestyle, and preferences. Here are some additional considerations:

• Side effects - Both types of pills can have side effects like nausea, breast tenderness, and mood changes. However, these effects often improve after a few months.

• Period control - Combination pills can help regulate your period and make it lighter. POPs may cause irregular bleeding, especially during the first few months.

• Other health conditions - If you have certain medical conditions, like a history of blood clots or migraines, POPs might be a better option.

Remember, this is just a basic overview. There's no "one size fits all" approach to birth control. Explore your options with our doctor and make the choice that feels most comfortable and effective for you.
