What are the types of oral pills? Classify them on various basis?

Dear student,

There are two types of oral pills which are available :the mini pill and the combined pill. Mini pill is mainly used by older women. It is known as the progesterone only pill therefore it is taken by those women who are medically unsuitable to take estrogen. Example of mini pill Errin, Heather,​Camila, Jolivette, Nora-BE.
Whereas, combined pill is the most commonly used type of oral pill taken to prevent pregnancy it contains the hormones estrogen and pregesterone. The combined pills are low dose pill. Example of the combined type of pills  MonoNessa, Previfem,  Ortho-Novum,, Cryselle,​TriNessa​, Microgestin, Ogestrel etc.
