Short-acting oral contraceptives contain low doses of estrogen and progestin, are rapidly metabolized in the body, and do not accumulate. They are convenient to use—consistent, regular intake provides effective contraception. Their main side effects include nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, and fatigue in women; some women may also experience irregular vaginal bleeding or breast tenderness.
