The choice of a combined oral contraceptive
Abstract
The choice of more than two dozen oral contraceptive preparations in Britain can be confusing: this article offers some guidelines. The preparations now available are either combined oestrogen/progestagen formulations or progestagen-only oral contraceptives. This article concerns the combined preparations; a brief note on progestagen-only pills (which we have discussed in detail1) appears on page 4.
