Get Apri Online

Apri works through three complementary mechanisms: it suppresses ovulation so no egg is released, thickens cervical mucus so sperm cannot easily reach an egg, and thins the uterine lining to reduce the chance of implantation. When taken correctly and consistently, it is more than 99% effective.

Apri comes in a 28-day pack. You take one active pill daily for 21 days, then one inactive (reminder) pill daily for 7 days. It is most effective when taken at the same time each day. Missing pills or taking them irregularly can reduce effectiveness.

Common side effects include nausea, breast tenderness, headache, breakthrough spotting or bleeding (especially in the first few months), and mood changes. Most side effects are mild and tend to improve after the first two to three cycles.

Apri is not recommended for people with a history of blood clots, stroke, heart attack, or certain types of migraines with aura. It is also avoided in those who smoke and are over 35, have uncontrolled high blood pressure, or have certain liver conditions. Your physician will review your full medical history before prescribing.

Certain medications can reduce the effectiveness of Apri, including some antibiotics (such as rifampin), antifungals, anticonvulsants, and St. John's Wort. Always tell your prescribing physician about all medications and supplements you are taking so interactions can be checked.
