The Pill

Hi All,

I was reading recently that Colombia now has condoms more readily available.

I was wondering if a large % of women take "the pill" in Colombia?

Also what is "the pill" called in spanish?

Thanks

The pill in spanish is pastilla anticonceptiva, you can buy it over the counter with no prescription, I did once ages ago and it cost me 1,600 COP it was the same brand i was using here in the UK, I don't how many women are taking the pill there, I think some need to be educate how to take it, what happen if you miss one, and the side effects, when I bought mine nobody ask me any question, I already knew about it because i was taking it here in the UK, but imaging if I were a 15 year old, new to that.

now about condoms sorry i don't know how many types you can find *blushing* jiji

Education... Thanks,

yeah nobody ever mentioned the pill in colombia, but I know in Argentina they are a bit more knowledgable...

So 1600COP for one? Are you thinking of the "morning after pill"?

Or is it 1600COP for a cycle of 21 (or 28)?

All women are different Reading the differents post i would like to say, that must be considered that each woman organism is different, an each one react different or need a different % of hormons, so you can find a large offer of pills regarding woman organis needs.

Also it must be consider the social situation of each individual.

That is why you'll find pills since 1500 up to 60000, depending on the woman organism and social economic issue (some pills seondary effcts are stronger than other ones, so someone would be willing topay more but not undergo those secondary effects)

About the next day pill (must be considered it is for emergencies not as averyday anticonceptive pill) is sell in most drugstores and I believe it costs around 18.000 COL

In Colombia, a common used "Pill" is marketed by Wyeth Labs and called Nordette. It sells for 9-10k COP in Carruja supermarket.

Hell, you can stop by a pharmacy and the guy gives her a contraceptive shot in the rear end behind a curtain right then and there.

The expensive pill is for really strong gringo sperm, GIB. For a "regular" dude they just use the cheap pills.
