Synopsis
The sixth edition of this popular handbook is still the only book to give comprehensive information - with no fudging on the unwanted side effects - about the Pill and related hormonal methods of contraception. The author, an experienced prescriber and trusted medical author, writes in a clear and accessible way. He believes strongly in women's autonomy: 'the user is always the chooser'. During the 40 years since the Pill was first marketed, much more money has been spent researching its safety than was spent in developing it through the 1950's. Although it has repeatedly been established as one of the least harmful medicines ever formulated, there are some risks, and a number of 'Pill scares' have been reported in the media. Following, each of these many women give up on the Pill, not always finding a satisfactory alternative. Professor Guillebaud gives a balanced explanation of the risks, benefits and side effects of the Pill. The book is based on the latest and best research evidence available. But when the evidence is not yet available, or is conflicting, the author helps the reader decide what's personally best. This book offers trustworthy guidance for women on the Pill as well as women who are still deciding which method of contraception to use.
