FAQs

I have heard there are newer more expensive pills that are better for skin and weight problems. Can you tell me about these Pills?

Answer

Price does not reflect quality here. It is very individual which Pill will suit a woman.
The Pills that have been around longer are less expensive because they are subsidised by the government.

The newer (or "third generation") Pills are more expensive and not usually our first choice for someone who has never used the Pill before.

But they are often a great option for women who have unwanted effects with one of the other Pills, or severe acne.
