A member asked:
Everyone i know is on the pill. is it safe for all of them?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Like all medications the pill has a few serious risks, such as increased risk of blood clots, stroke, heart attacks, and gallbladder disease. These risks are rare but some women should avoid the pill if they have a family history of clots and carry a pre-disposing genetic mutation, have migraines with aura, smoke cigarettes, have hypertension, are immobilized, or are older.
