Abstract
In socio-cultural politico setting like India, access to or promotion of contraception among young adult is very limited. Educating young women about emergency contraception may help to prevent unwanted pregnancies. Unwanted pregnancy continues to be a significant public health issue and poses a major challenge to the reproductive health of women, and particularly among young adults in developing countries. Pregnancies that are unintended, at highest instance occurs between 18-24 years of age, because of which education to women about the contraceptive practices and about the risks associated with contraceptive use become important. Many women using oral contraceptives are unaware of the serious side effects produced by them, which actually have a greater impact in the later life, this study suggest the strategies on promotion regarding serious side effects associated with oral contraceptive usage should be focused by we pharmacists. During the course of the study questionnaires were used to obtain and conclude the results. However, risk associated with the use of (Oral Contraceptive Pills) OCP’s can’t be eliminated. Instead the reduction of incidence has been achieved when we conducted awareness programmes and educated women regarding the long term and short term risks associated with the use of oral contraceptive method.
