Oral contraceptive pill - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - www.pillway.com

Oral contraceptives are medications taken by mouth for the purpose of birth control.

[edit] Female

Two types of female oral contraceptive pill are widely available:

The combined oral contraceptive pill contains oestrogen and a progestogen, and is taken once per day.
The progestogen only pill contains only progestogen, and is also taken once per day.

Other types of female oral contraceptive are experimental or only available in limited areas:

Mifepristone is an antiprogestogen which has been used as a daily oral contraceptive in investigational clinical trials.
Ormeloxifene (also known as Centchroman) is a selective oestrogen receptor modulator which is taken one to two times per week. Ormeloxifene is approved as an oral contraceptive only in India.

[edit] Male

Male oral contraceptives are currently not available commercially, although several possibilities are in various stages of research and development.
