Customer Reviews

Essential tool.

I daily use this handbook in my practice and have bought every edition since the 7th. Every question is answered. Allows sense to be made of oral contraceptive choice and adjustment without relying on big pharma's propaganda.

Managing Contraceptive Patient

Consistent in it's format, easy to use,concise and up to date. Recommended to all medical personnel managing patients on oral contraceptives. I have purchased the last three editions over the last 7 years and have not been disappointed.

No more guesswork when managing OBC

This book has clear guidelines for prescribing oral contraceptive agents. It provides a section on bothersome side effects, causal factors and options. The section on contraceptive activity is good as is the composition and identification section. Very helpful, easy to use and it takes the guesswork out of oral contraception.

For patients, not just doctors

As a pill user, I have found this book to be extremely valuable. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who like to be informed about her own medical care. This offers enough information to allow you to be involved in decision making.

Essential Tool for the Primary Care Practitioner

As a primary care practitioner, I have found each edition of this book invaluable and an essential tool in my practice. The most worn pages in this book are those listing all commonly prescribed oral contraceptives along with their estrogenic and progesterone effects. Its unique quick reference index in the center of the book is also indispensible for a practitioner in a tearing hurry to locate the most current recommendations to treat a particular side effect. Highly recommended!
