Tyblume is a low-dose combination oral contraceptive, and in clinical studies, it was shown to be over 99% effective at preventing pregnancy when used correctly. This pill is made of two female hormones, levonorgestrel and ethinyl estradiol, and is specifically formulated with a low dose of estrogen. It is one of many hormonal birth control options available by prescription.

Azalia is a progestogen-only contraceptive pill, commonly known as a mini-pill, that works by releasing the hormone desogestrel to prevent pregnancy. Unlike many other mini-pills, its primary contraceptive effect is through the inhibition of ovulation, similar to combined pills, which results in high efficacy. This makes it a popular choice for women who cannot use estrogen-containing contraceptives.

Sukhi is an oral combined contraceptive pill primarily used to prevent pregnancy, though different formulations are available depending on the region. The original Sukhi formulation contains a notably high amount of estrogen, which has been associated with serious health risks, while other regional variants like Sukhi Lite contain lower hormone doses.

Available in regions like the UAE, the EZ One tablet is an emergency contraceptive containing the hormone levonorgestrel. This medication is designed to significantly reduce the chance of pregnancy after unprotected sexual intercourse or contraceptive failure, provided it is taken promptly.

Unlike many hormonal birth control methods, dydrogesterone is a synthetic progestin that does not inhibit ovulation and therefore cannot prevent pregnancy. This is a crucial distinction, as the medication is prescribed to treat conditions associated with a progesterone deficiency and support fertility.
