∙ 14y agoBirth control (contraceptive) medications contain hormones (estrogen and progesterone, or progesterone alone). The medications are available in various forms, such as pills, injections (into a muscle),topical (skin) patches, and slow-release systems (vaginal rings, skin implants, and contraceptive-infusedintrauterine devices [Mirena]). Choosing which estrogen and progesterone dose, type, and administration method is highly patient specific, meaning that the choice greatly depends on factors unique to an individual. General goals are to choose a product that provides good menstrual cycle control with the fewest adverse (side) effects and to use the lowesthormone dose possible. After beginning birth control medications, it may be necessary to adjust the dose or to choose a different product.
