Hormonal contraceptives are a type of personal care product used to prevent pregnancy. They are typically taken orally, injected, or implanted in the body. Hormonal contraceptives work by releasing hormones that prevent ovulation, making it difficult for sperm to reach an egg. They can also thicken the cervical mucus, making it harder for sperm to enter the uterus. Hormonal contraceptives are highly effective when used correctly and can be used for long-term contraception. Hormonal contraceptives are available in a variety of forms, including pills, patches, injections, and implants. They are available over-the-counter or by prescription, depending on the type of product. Side effects of hormonal contraceptives can include nausea, headaches, and changes in mood. Some companies in the hormonal contraceptives market include Bayer, Merck, Pfizer, and Teva Pharmaceuticals. Show Less Read more
