Cilest and oral contraception
After the initial set of contraception failed to encourage people to indulge in safe sex practices, the medicine industry decided to focus on the shortcomings of all the available forms of contraception. The ‘ease of use’ and ‘reliability’ was noted to be the main elements that the earlier contraceptives lacked. While reliability and ease of use contradicted each other, with the guarantee of reliability bringing down the ease of use element. This no-win situation led them to the most common and widely used forms of medication – oral tablets. This led to contraception in the oral form. Oral contraception helped to overcome the biggest excuse for the people refraining from contraception – ease of use. The oral contraceptive pill or birth control pill can be taken orally by the female partner, did not pose as a barrier in natural sex, exceptionally reliable and men did not have to wear barrier contraception anymore.
