Key points

  • Combined contraceptive pills (Levlen, Mircette) pair an oestrogen with a progestogen and are taken daily.
  • Emergency contraception works best the sooner it is taken. Delivery takes up to 1 week by Express and up to 3 weeks by Standard Airmail, so for a current need go to a local pharmacy, where it is sold without a prescription.
  • Flibanserin (the original brand is Addyi) is approved for low sexual desire that causes distress in women under 65; sildenafil marketed for women (Lady Era) is not.

Classes and ingredients in this category

  • Combined contraceptive pills: ethinylestradiol with levonorgestrel (Levlen) or desogestrel (Mircette).
  • Emergency contraception: levonorgestrel 1.5mg (Plan B), a single tablet.
  • Fertility and progestogen medicines: clomifene (Clomid) to induce ovulation, and dydrogesterone (Duphaston), a progestogen.
  • Sexual health: flibanserin and sildenafil (Lady Era).
  • Unwanted facial hair: eflornithine cream.

Before you choose

Combined pills are not suitable for everyone: healthdirect lists people over 35 who smoke, people who have had a blood clot or have a condition that raises the risk of clots, and some types of migraine. A doctor or family planning clinic can advise which pill suits you. Fertility problems and irregular or heavy bleeding need a diagnosis first.
