About this Presentation
There is now a large range of progestogen-only and progestogen and oestrogen combination oral contraceptives available. An understanding of these exogenous hormones and precursors they derive from will facilitate tailored choices for women who wish to avoid certain side-effects whilst taking contraceptives. The non-contraceptive benefits of oral contraceptives should also be considered.
