The term "minipill" is often used to refer to a type of birth control pill that only contains progestin. However, there are other names and synonyms for this type of contraceptive, including "progesterone-only pill," "POP," "progestin-only pill," and "mini dose pill." Additionally, there are specific brands of minipills such as Micronor, Errin, and Nor-QD. It is important to note that while the minipill is an effective form of birth control, it must be taken at the same time every day in order to maintain optimum effectiveness. Women who are considering using the minipill should speak with their healthcare provider to determine if it is the right choice for them.
