What is Risk and Benefit of Combined Oral Contraceptives about?

The author reports an actual review of the risk and benefit of the combined oral contraceptives (COC). The COC is in the present time the safe method of the birth control. The author discusses the history, pharmacology and metabolism of estrogens, progestins, the benefits and possible adverse events, risk and contraindications of COC. The most serious complication is of thromboembolic event. The risk of adverse events declines by the low-dose therapy. The claim on the safety, reliability and control of the menstrual cycle meet all modern low-dose products. The combination with the drospirenon could have a therapeutic effect especially in women with hypertension and obesity.
