WHICH BIRTH CONTROL METHOD IS RIGHT FOR YOU?

There are a variety of birth control options available today. From traditional condoms and birth control pills to patches and implants. While no product is 100% effective, options like intrauterine devices (IUDs) and the implant which is inserted under the skin of a woman’s arm, have the lowest failure rates because they are the simplest to use properly and do not require a repeating task like taking a pill or applying a patch. Birth control patches work by delivering the same hormones as pills, but through the skin and are sometimes preferred because they only need to be changed once a week. Vaginal rings also use the hormone absorption method but are worn internally and changed once a month.
  More and more women can now get hormonal birth control without the hassle of needing a doctor to prescribe it. Depending on the state, this means easier access to contraception methods like the pill, the patch, the ring, or the shot.  Call your pharmacy to see if they offer the birth control prescription service. At BOB’S PHARMACY, we are more than happy to answer any questions you have about birth control options. Please call 209.823.2174, or visit us at 629 E. Yosemite Ave.

   P.S.  Side effects, daily habits, and physical comfort are all things worth considering when choosing a birth control method.
