What do the contraceptive pills available in the market contain?

The contraceptive pills available in the market typically contain (d) Steroid Hormones. Specifically, they contain synthetic versions of estrogen and/or progestin, which are types of steroid hormones. These hormones work by regulating the menstrual cycle and preventing ovulation, thus inhibiting pregnancy. Some contraceptive pills contain only progestin and are referred to as mini-pills. These hormones are formulated to mimic the natural hormones produced by the ovaries. Unlike antibiotics (c) or herbicides (b), which have different mechanisms of action, contraceptive pills utilize steroid hormones to provide effective contraception when taken as directed.
