Do mobile phone-based reminders assist in oral contraceptive pill adherence?

Yes. A program of daily unidirectional and interactive educational text messages, plus routine counseling over six months, increases the likelihood of oral contraceptive pill continuation and decreases interruptions in dosing compared to routine counseling alone (SOR: B, single randomized controlled trial [RCT] from systematic review). However, simple daily text message reminders alone over three months does not decrease number of missed pills compared to standard care (SOR: B, single RCT from systematic review). Mobile phone reminders may be considered in young women to improve oral contraception adherence (SOR: C, consensus guideline). Copyright © 2019 by Family Physicians Inquiries Network, Inc.
