Q. What are the common contraindications of the contraceptive pills?
There are medical reports associating the use of contraceptive pills with vomiting, headaches, vertigo, nausea, hypertension and other pathological conditions. Few research has attempted to relate the medical ingestion of progesterone and estrogen with increased propensity to cardiovascular diseases (like strokes, infarction and thrombosis) and to malignant neoplasias (cancers). Doctors must always be asked about the benefits and risks of the contraceptive pill previous to use.
