title: The combined oral contraceptive. A practical guide.
abstract: Prescribing the combined oral contraceptive pill is a rewarding combination of hands-on clinical medicine, logical therapeutics, prevention, and patient education. Lowest dose with the least side-effects is the overriding principle of prescribing. It is important to spend time teaching patients and partners how to manage their pill-taking and to be responsible for their medication and prevention follow up.
