There have been some worrisome reports of blood clots (venus thromboembolisms) resulting from the use of the new third generation oral contraceptives. So, a recent study in Lancet (July 10, l999),of 450,000 Dutch people of hospital admissions by three medical scientists* there has been eagerly awaited.

They found that, whereas there was a risk of blood clots requiring hospitalization of previous oral contraceptive users of 1.7%, new users of third generation contraceptives revealed a risk of 14.1%. Sobering, to say the least.

We would suggest discussions with your physician if you are a new user.
