&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #333333;&quot;&gt;Oral contraception is a highly effective medication to prevent unintended pregnancy.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #333333;&quot;&gt;The combined oral contraceptive pill is, commonly known as the birth control pill, contains two synthetic female hormones and is taken daily to prevent unplanned pregnancy.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #333333;&quot;&gt;An oral contraceptive pill is suitable for most individuals looking for short-term contraception. However, the medication is unsuitable for individuals with high blood pressure, migraines with aura, breast or hormonal-related cancers, liver or gallbladder conditions, blood clots (thrombosis), or a family history of thrombotic tendencies.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #333333;&quot;&gt;Most of the oral contraceptive pills in Hong Kong are monophasic 21-day pills. In other words, it means one need to take 21 consecutive days&amp;rsquo; worth of hormonal pills, followed by a 7-day pill-free interval.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
