Clinical risks and benefits of the contraceptive pill

The contraceptive pill is a medication that you swallow at the same time each day to prevent pregnancy and when taken correctly, it is over 99% effective at preventing pregnancy. In real-world use, about 8 in 100 people who use the combined pill a year become pregnant due to incorrect use such as forgetting to take pills (92% effective).

The contraceptive pill can also be used to treat period pain, heavy periods, premenstrual syndrome (PMS), endometriosis, acne, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and adenomyosis.

There are some risks of using the pill, but these are not common, which include blood clots in an artery or vein; and a slightly increased risk of cervical cancer, breast cancer and liver cancer. Due to these risks, we ask you to complete the below information.
