Oral contraceptive therapy
A kind of contraceptive agent that involves taking a pill containing a high dose of estrogen with progestin to suppress normal ovulation and egg implantation. OR commonly called the Pill. Contains high doses of a synthetic estrogen and moderate doses of a progestin, typically an androgenic progestin. “Low dose” (20-30 micrograms) estrogen-containing kinds still have four to five times more estrogen effect than is normal for the menstrual cycle. The Pill prevents ovarian cancer but increases the risks for migraine headaches, blood clots and strokes. The new ring and patch forms of contraception are less likely to cause blood clots.
