When it comes to reproductive health, having access to reliable information and effective contraceptive options is vital. At the St. Lucia Planned Parenthood Association (SLPPA), we are committed to empowering individuals with knowledge and choices for their reproductive health journey. Below, we explore some of the most trusted contraceptive options available through our clinic.
Oral Contraceptives
- Microgynon: A combination oral contraceptive containing estrogen and progestin, Microgynon provides high efficacy and additional benefits like regulated menstrual cycles and reduced premenstrual symptoms. It’s ideal for women seeking a reliable and easy-to-use option. Simply take one pill daily at the same time to ensure continuous protection.
- Microlut: Designed for those sensitive to estrogen or breastfeeding, this progestin-only pill offers a gentle yet effective solution. Known as the “mini-pill,” Microlut is a great choice for women looking for a low-dose contraceptive.
- Marvelon 28: This comprehensive option combines high effectiveness with menstrual regulation and added skincare benefits. With 21 active pills and 7 inactive pills, Marvelon 28 helps maintain a consistent daily routine.
- Diane 35: Ideal for women who require both effective contraception and support for androgen-related skin issues like acne. Its dual benefits make it a preferred choice for managing reproductive and skin health simultaneously.
Injectable Contraceptives
- Depo-Provera: A long-lasting option requiring just one injection every three months, Depo-Provera is a progestin-only contraceptive that suits women seeking low-maintenance birth control.
- Noristerat 200mg: With up to 8 weeks of pregnancy prevention per injection, this is an excellent short-term solution for women transitioning between contraceptive methods or planning pregnancy soon.
- Norigynon 50mg: This monthly injection combines estrogen and progestin, providing a convenient and highly effective solution for those preferring a regular, once-a-month contraceptive.
