The Pill
- Antibiotics can make the pill less effective in preventing pregnancy.*
- The pill is up to 98% effective against pregnancy if taken correctly.
- The pill is free from Family Planning Clinics.
- Although there isn’t one on the market yet, scientists are working to develop a contraceptive pill for men.
- Using the contraceptive pill and a condom at the same time is called "double dutch". It protects someone against both pregnancy and STIs.
- The pill can, very occasionally, have serious side effects, so anyone who experiences anything unusual whilst on the pill should speak to their Doctor.
