Oral Contraceptives
SECURE

Secure is a high quality low dose 28-day cycle combined oral contraceptive. It is targeted at women aged 20-39 in unions in both the rural and the urban areas. It is available in a two-cycle pack. Secure is effective, safe, affordable and easy to use. Each packet comes with a leaflet that provides instructions on its use, and answers any questions a woman may have. Pharmacists and chemical sellers have also been provided with a check list, trained to answer questions, counsel women on side effects, as well as identify who should or should not use Secure. They also recommend when a woman should see a physician, if necessary. In addition to pregnancy prevention, Secure also provides several non-contraceptive benefits. Women who use it have less menstrual pain and more regular periods. It also helps prevent some diseases such as anemia and some cancers.
