Question

Contraceptive pills contain:

• A. Hormonal preparations
• B. Enzymes
• C. Food supplements
• D. All of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is A Hormonal preparations

Birth control pills (oral contraceptive pills) check ovulation by inhibiting the secretion of Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) and Luteinizing Hormone (LH) that are necessary for ovulation. Hence no eggs are released in a woman after taking the pill and thus conception cannot occur.

Hormonal preparations combined pill is the most commonly used birth control pill. It contains progesterone and estrogen. Thus option A is the correct answer.
