Contraindications to combined hormonal oral contraceptives among over the counter users in the United States
Listen to this summary
The authors aimed to assess the prevalence of self-reported medical contraindications to hormonal contraception among over-the-counter (OTC) users in the United States. Their survey revealed that only 0.3% of OTC users reported contraindications to progestin-only pills, while 25.1% reported contraindications to combined oral contraceptives, significantly higher than the 15.5% reported by prescription users. This suggests that medical contraindications to progestin-only pills are rare among OTC users.
