First Use of Contraceptive Pills for Adolescent Girls

Contraceptive pills are the most commonly used form of contraception among adolescents. They are also the safest way to prevent pregnancy and the most recommended for teenagers and young women. While oral contraceptives differ in terms of the level of hormones they contain, the preference when prescribing for very young women is generally for a consistent, low dosage (which usually also comes with relatively fewer side effects such as nausea or headaches).
