A member asked:

I have been using microgynon ed for some years now and it has increased my blood pressure. should i continue taking the pills? which pill can i take.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Discontinue pill: If you and your doctor think there is a clear connection between your blood pressure and you taking birth control pills my advice is to discontinue the birth-control pills. Have you considered a nonhormonal method, like an intrauterine device?
