Synopsis

The pill is the most widely used form of contraception in the UK, and yet it also creates more anxiety and misunderstanding than any other contraceptive. In this bestselling handbook John Guillebaud presents the facts, dispels the myths, presents the choices, and answers the questions which are most often asked. In this fifth edition he provides information about new formulations, examines all the side effects, including the issue of whether there is any link between the pill and deep vein thrombosis, heart disease, or cancer, and gives details about the newest methods of giving contraceptive hormones.
