At the moment, there's a big controversy in France about 3rd and 4th gen contraceptive pills, How serious are the dangers? Should we stop taking them?
Jan 16, 2013

Dr. Karim Nawfal Obstetrics & Gynecology
There is always a controversy in medicine and most of the time it is exaggerated by media.
Like any medication contraceptive pills have side effects but most of them are minor. The risks of having major side effects are very low if you have been evaluated properly by your physician.
So NO you should not stop taking them, but talk about it with your gynecologist so that he can answer all your concerns properly.
