All birth control pills require a prescription from a healthcare provider. Combination birth control pills are available in 21-day packs, with 21 active tablets, or 28-day packs with 21 active tablets, and 7 inactive tablets. Extended-cycle pills such as Seasonique contain 84 active tablets and 7 inactive tablets.
For women who experience negative side effects from birth control pills that contain hormones, there are other contraceptive alternatives, such as the intrauterine device (IUD), which can be found with or without hormones. Trubow considers the IUD to be a highly effective method. Other options include diaphragms, condoms and tubal ligation.
