First Use of Contraceptive Pills for Adolescent Girls

Contraceptive pills are the most common form of contraception during adolescence. They are also the safest way to prevent pregnancy and the most recommended for teenagers and young women. There are different types of hormonal preparations but there is generally a preference for consistent, low dosage contraceptives at the younger ages. Low-dosage pills also carry relatively fewer side effects, such as nausea or headaches.
