Do you smoke? If so how many per day? *

please be aware that for the combined pill if you smoke heavily or have another relative risk factor we cannot prescribe this medication

Although the overall risk of having a blood clot as a result of taking the pill is small, for some women it may be a serious risk. The risk is increased if you smoke, travel on a long-haul flight (more than 3 hours), trek at an altitude greater than 2500m, have recently had an operation, or are bed-bound for a long period. DECLARATION I understand that the contraceptive pill has certain risks attached to it, as outlined in the patient information leaflet included with the pills, and that smoking increases these risks. I agree to all the above information is accurate *
