Abstract
The combined oral contraceptive pill (COCP) has been a popular choice of contraception since it was first introduced in 1961. There are numerous varieties of COCP and tailored regimes allow patients more choice and opportunities to adapt contraception to suit individual needs. The pandemic has made it more difficult for patients to access long-acting reversible contraception support and many have been using interim methods of contraception, including the COCP. In this article we explore which pill to prescribe, developments in tailored regimes, guidance about changing pills when side effects arise, health risks and benefits, as well as best practice for remote assessments and prescribing.
