Latest reviews of Oral Contraceptives app for iPhone and iPad
There are so many birth control pills on the market. This app provides great information only about OCPs. There is a handy chart for contraceptive methods effectiveness. The chart lists methods other than birth control pills (i.e. Depo, Patch, NuvaRing, IUDs). Perhaps this app could be expanded to include other contraceptive methods since many women use methods other than OCP. A reference tool that includes other methods besides "the pill" would make this a 5 star app!
Im an ob/gyn and have been looking for an app just like this. This provides comprehensive info on OCPs in an easy-to-use format. Things I like: The thorough list of generic/equivalent pills (for all those times a patient asks for a pills just like .....) and the efficacy chart that will be great for counseling patients.
Im a public health nurse and this has helped me a lot! It would be great to have other forms of birth control (depo, nuva ring, nexplanon, etc). Overall, this is great!
I was so excited & bought this app. In their first info paragraph they state ocps in the US.. Kickn myself. The ocp i need to find an equivalent isnt listed. Plz add Canadian meds. Iwork n both countries.
As someone who prescribes OCPs for women, I find this to be a great reference tool. It gives you the brand & generic names, phasing, cycle and equivalent pills. You can also arrange by estrogen dose, progestin type etc. They also threw in a contraceptive efficacy chart. My only complaints however, are that the app has not been updated since 2011, which makes me wonder if the information is up to date. Also, the interface needs to be updated and optimized to keep up with current technology. The interface looks like one that was designed for iPhone 3 (certainly not optimized for 6-plus that I’m using).
