Picking the Monophasic PillVideo Description:It's 99 percent effective, but some women can't handle the high doses of hormones. What's up with the monophasic Pill? Transcript:Oral contraceptives are the most popular method of non-permanent birth control in the United States.  No wonder there are so many to choose from!  Orthro Cept and Alesse are examples of a form of oral contraceptives called the “monophasic” pill.  This birth control is over 99 percent effective when used correctly. A woman on a monophasic pill takes 28 pills during each cycle.  Twenty-one of these are “active” and contain an equal amount of two synthetic hormones, estrogen and progestin.  The remaining seven tablets in a packet are placebos. During the time a woman takes these, she does not receive hormones and usually gets her period as a result.  One newer form of monophasic pill, called Seasonale, allows a woman to go three months without her period.  It does so by containing 84 active pills, followed by one week of placebos. The steady dosage of estrogen and progestin in all monophasic pills may produce fewer side effects, like breakthrough bleeding, than other Pills.  For some women, the high dose of hormones can prove too much.  If you’re not sold on monophasic tablets, check out our other videos on picking your Pill!
