Jul 28, 2014

Dr. Zakia Dimassi Pediatrics
Common side effects of Diane, which is a combination of estrogen and progesterone, include nausea and abdominal pain/distention, headache, weight gain, and breast pain/tenderness.
Combination oral contraceptive pills come with a warning regarding the increased risk of blood thickening and blood clots and their complications, especially if the following conditions are present:
- age
- smoking (with heavier smoking and increasing age the risk further increases, especially in women over 35 years of age)
- a positive family history of blood clots (must consult a blood sspecialist before starting this drug)
obesity (body mass index over 30 kg/m2)
-high cholesterol/lipid in blood
-migraine
valvular heart disease & atrial fibrillation
prolonged immobilization (like long travel by plane).
In these cases consult your doctor.
