A member asked:
Is the birth control pill still safe?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, for most women: The pill is a very safe method of birth control and the risks are considerably less than the risks of pregnancy for most women. An important risk factor is smoking. If you are a smoker and over 35 you should not take the pill.
