Is the Pill the same as the mini-Pill?

No. This is a big source of confusion for many people – including, alas, a few doctors. The mini-Pill is not a low-strength version of the ordinary Pill.

It’s a completely different product, because it contains only ONE hormone – instead of two and is also referred to as the ‘progestogen-only Pill’. This makes it ‘milder’ and freer of side-effects, but also less effective.
