ABSTRACT

This brief paper reviews the most common side effects and complications caused by oral contraceptives.

Cardiovascular and cerebrovascular effects, hepatic effects, lipid metabolic and blood coagulation effects, as well

as carcinogenic effects are briefly mentioned, but not discussed. Because of the public awareness of such

potential complications, thousands of women are going back to topical contraception with spermicidal agents. Such

a method, if properly used, has an extremely good rate of efficiency, and a very good antiseptic action.
