The pill is the most widely used form of contraception in the UK, and yet it also creates more anxiety and misunderstanding than any other contraceptive. In this bestselling handbook John Guillebaud presents the facts, dispels the myths, presents the choices, and answers the questions which are most often asked. In this fifth edition he provides information about new formulations, examines all the side effects, including the issue of whether there is any link between the pill and deep vein thrombosis, heart disease, or cancer, and gives details about the newest methods of giving contraceptive hormones.

Oxford Paperbacks

The sixth edition of this popular handbook is still the only book to give comprehensive information - with no fudging on the unwanted side effects - about the Pill and related hormonal methods of contraception. The author, an experienced prescriber and trusted medical author, writes in a clear and accessible way. He believes strongly in women's autonomy: 'the user is always the chooser'. During the 40 years since the Pill was first marketed, much more money has been spent researching its safety than was spent in developing it through the 1950's. Although it has repeatedly been established as one of the least harmful medicines ever formulated, there are some risks, and a number of 'Pill scares' have been reported in the media. Following, each of these many women give up on the Pill, not always finding a satisfactory alternative. Professor Guillebaud gives a balanced explanation of the risks, benefits and side effects of the Pill. The book is based on the latest and best research evidence available. But when the evidence is not yet available, or is conflicting, the author helps the reader decide what's personally best. This book offers trustworthy guidance for women on the Pill as well as women who are still deciding which method of contraception to use.

Self-Help

Used by over 200 million women since the 1960s, the Pill is one of the most commonly prescribed medicines--and has repeatedly been established as one of the least harmful ever formulated. However, there are some risks, and a number of "Pill Scares" have been reported in the media--often causing women to give up the Pill without finding a satisfactory alternative.  More choices are now available than ever to users of hormonal contraception, and it can be difficult for doctors or family planning workers to find the time for detailed discussion with existing or new users.  Women of all ages, whether they are existing users of or new to hormonal contraception, will find realistic, practical, and trustworthy guidance in this book to help them to make their own informed decisions. It will also be indispensable to health professionals as a concise, balanced overview. Thise user-friendly book contains extensive and unbiases advice and information on the Pill, along with other hormonal alternatives such as implants, injections, and patches.

Medicine

Reproductive medicine is the most dynamic area within obstetrics and gynecology and, arguably, the most complicated. An explosion of scientific understanding and technological capabilities - particularly in contraception, infertility and menopause - has transformed the specialty into a high-profile subject that touches upon endocrinology, embryology, andrology, surgery, social science, and practical law and ethics. The Oxford American Handbook of Reproductive Medicine provides a practical overview of the reproductive system and a systematic approach to its disorders, covering diagnosis, assessment, and ongoing management with particular emphasis on common and important presentations. Concise, readable, and pocket-sized, this handbook is useful for medical students, primary care clinicians, and ob/gyn residents as a ready reference for daily practice.

Previous editions of this best-selling pocketbook have been recognized as the gold-standard introductory guide to contraceptive practice. The target audience - family practitioners and practice nurses - are often well placed to offer good contraceptive advice because they already know the patient’s health and circumstances. The latest edition summarizes all available methods of contraception and the various factors to be considered in using them.

Contraception Today

The fully updated ninth edition of this bestselling handbook summarizes concisely but fully the methods of contraception, of which there are more now than were ever available to previous generations. This is a practical guide and includes newly launched intrauterine contraceptives. It also explains why new regimens for oral contraception should replace the standard 21/7 ritual that is suboptimal, despite being the norm for the past 60 years. Incorporating relevant WHO and national guidance documents, Professor Guillebaud’s writing is appreciated because he describes best practice not only when there is a good evidence-base but also when there is not. He guides clinical judgement in real-world situations, where there often are unknowns yet the healthcare provider is facing a person who needs practical help now, in making their choice of method according to their own priorities. The easy-to-read format includes bulleted text and colour summary boxes that present information at a glance. Contraception Today is the ideal guide to contraceptive advice for general practitioners and practice nurses.
