Do you want reliable contraception without daily pills?

Do you want an option safe for breastfeeding?
The contraceptive injection is safe to use while breastfeeding and not reduced by other medicines, making it versatile for many.
Have other hormone methods caused side effects or aren’t suitable?
The injection contains progestogen only, offering an alternative if oestrogen‑containing contraception isn’t right for you.
Are you experiencing heavy or painful periods?
Many people notice lighter, less frequent bleeding or even no periods after injections, which some find beneficial.
