Birth control pills, also called as oral contraceptives, are intended for use by women to prevent pregnancy; and as the name suggests, they are to be taken by the mouth. These pills represent a hormonal form of contraception as they act on the endocrine system to prevent fertilisation. The pills are very effective in preventing pregnancy and with a consistent and proper use they have a failure rate of less than 1% per year. However, they do not prevent the spread of AIDS or other sexually contracted diseases. Some of the birth control pills available at onlinerx.co.uk are Yasmin, Cerazette, Dianette, Microgynon, Mercilon.
