SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS FOR USE

• Women with medical conditions that improve with COCs may find COCs a particularly attractive contraceptive option. This includes women with dysmenorrhea, endometriosis, menstrual migraine without aura, iron deficiency anemia, acne, hirsutism, polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), ovarian or endometrial cancer risk factors, eating disorders or activity patterns that increase risk of osteoporosis. Consider continuous or extended COC use with a monophasic pill. See here

• Women whose reproductive health would be improved by ovulation suppression or decreased menstrual blood loss should also consider COCs. This includes women with chronic amenorrhea (unopposed estrogen), and women who suffer menorrhagia or dysmenorrhea and some anticoagulated women (COCs decrease risk of internal hemorrhage with ovulation and menorrhagia)

• Women whose quality of life would be improved by reducing frequency of or eliminating menses with extended cycles or continuous COC use: See here

• Women who have difficulty swallowing pills may benefit from the chewable formulation of Ovcon-35. OCs may potentially also be placed in the vagina for systemic absorption. Large studies are lacking
