Qlaira

Qlaira as a Contraception

Qlaira is a form of combined contraception that is taken to prevent unwanted pregnancy for women. It is an oral birth control pill to be taken consecutively for 28 days without a break. It also helps alleviate symptoms of menstruation such as heavy bleeding and or painful periods.

What is Qlaira and how does it work?

The pill contains synthetic progesterone and oestrogen. These hormones are also produced by the body. Qlaira works by altering the hormonal balance of the body to prevent ovulation and by making the lining of the uterus less receptive to egg implantation.
