Oral contraceptive pills,An Overview On Katya Contraceptive Pill Articles also known as birth control pills, are a popular form of contraception amongst women who are looking for an effective contraceptive. The combined pill, the most popular type of birth control pill, is a pill which consists of two synthetic female hormones of oestrogen and progestogen. This pill is further divided into four categories: monophasic pills, biphasic pills, triphasic pills and multiphasic pills. These categories are based on the amount of dosage you take during your menstrual cycle. For a monophasic pill, you take the same dosage throughout your menstrual cycle. A biphasic pill has two different dosages for the entire cycle.

A triphasic pill has three different dosages while a multiphasic pill has multiple dosages for you to take throughout the cycle. These differences in dosages of a contraceptive pill are given as they can help imitate your natural menstrual cycle to a greater extent. It can hence be more effective at preventing you from becoming pregnant. However, even though monophasic pills do not provide any difference in dosage, they are found to be equally effective. Katya is one of the most popular monophasic combined pills used for the purpose of preventing pregnancy. This pill consists of ethinylestradiol and gestodene, synthetic versions of oestrogen and progestogen, as its chief ingredients.
