A member asked:

Hi so my question is if the contraceptive pill can be considered a steroid, in combination of estradiol and progestine?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Steroids are a family of compounds composed of a certain combination of compounds arranged in a specific way. There is a group that are recognized as sex steroids, like those in the BC pills, and a group known for their anti-inflammatory properties like prednisone.
