How Opill® works

01

What it is

Opill® is a progestin-only birth control pill (also known as a POP or mini pill). It contains only one hormone, progestin, and is estrogen-free. 

02

What it does

Opill® works by thickening the cervical mucus, which helps block sperm from reaching the egg. It may also prevent your ovaries from releasing eggs.

03

What to expect

Opill® is 98% effective at preventing pregnancy when taken at the same time every day. It starts working within 48 hours after you take your first pill, so make sure to keep using a barrier method like condoms for the first two days to prevent pregnancy, or if you miss or are late taking a pill.

How to use Opill®

Just swallow one pill at the same time everyday.

Setting reminders and signing up for a subscription are good ways to make sure you don’t miss a pill. 

You can start your first pack on any day of your cycle. If you’re switching from another oral contraceptive, vaginal ring or patch, start taking Opill® the day after you stop the other method.

And just a reminder — like other birth control pills, Opill® doesn’t prevent sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) or sexually transmitted infections (STIs).

Who is Opill for?

Opill® is suitable for most* women and people capable of becoming pregnant

Opill® is an oral contraceptive that contains only one hormone, progestin. This makes Opill® suitable for most* individuals who can become pregnant – even those with certain conditions such as high blood pressure, who are breastfeeding, perimenopausal, smokers, or experience migraines.  Unlike many other birth control pills, Opill® does not contain estrogen. This is beneficial for individuals with medical conditions or life circumstances that prevent them from taking estrogen-based contraceptives.

The use of Opill® is not restricted by age. As long as you have started menstruating, it is safe for you to use.

Additionally, Opill® is a great alternative for those without health insurance or frequent access to medical services, as it can be purchased over the counter without a prescription.

*If you currently have or have previously had breast cancer, you should not take Opill®. Use as directed.
