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 1950s. Although it has repeatedly been established it 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 the Pill, and do not always find a satisfactory alternative. Professor Guillebaud gives a balanced explanation of the risks, benefits and side-effects. The book is based on the latest and best research evidence throughout. But when the evidence is not yet available, or is conflicting, the author helps the user to decide for herself which is the best Pill for her - or whether to use choose a different method of contraception. Whether women are about to start taking the Pill, are already taking it, or are over 35, the book will provide trustworthy guidance.
