Contraceptive pills are a type of medication that contains the hormones you take every day to prevent pregnancy. There are many different types of pills. Pills are safe, affordable, and effective if you always take it on time. In addition to preventing pregnancy, these pills have many other health benefits as well like helps in regulating periods.
