Prescription, Pharmacy & Cancer Drugs » Prescription Drugs 7 » FEMILON Apri Oral contraceptives (birth-control pills) are used to prevent pregnancy. Estrogen and progestin are two female sex hormones. Combinations of estrogen and progestin work by preventing ovulation (the release of eggs from the ovaries). They also change the lining of the uterus (womb) to prevent pregnancy from developing and change the mucus at the cervix (opening of the uterus) to prevent sperm (male reproductive cells) from entering. Oral contraceptives are a very effective method of birth control but they do not prevent the spread of human immunodeficiency virus [HIV the virus that causes acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS)] and other sexually transmitted diseases.Some brands of oral contraceptives are also used to treat acne in certain patients. Oral contraceptives treat acne by decreasing the amounts of certain natural substances that can cause acne.One type of oral contraceptives (Yaz) is also used to relieve the symptoms of premenstrual dysphoric disorder (physical and emotional symptoms that occur before the menstrual period each month) in women who have chosen to use an oral contraceptive to prevent pregnancy.How should this medicine be used? Oral contraceptives come in packets of 21 28 or 91 tablets to take by mouth once a day every day or almost every day of a regular cycle. To avoid nausea take oral contraceptives with food or milk.

They do not contain any active ingredients but may contain iron. Taking one of these tablets every day will help you remember to start your next packet of birth control pills on time. One type of 28-tablet packet contains tablets that are all the same color. All of the tablets in this type of packet contain active ingredients.
