Don’t panic about the pill – it’s safer than driving to work

The risk of a woman dying from a road accident is approximately 25 times that of death from a pill-related clot. epSos .de/Flickr, CC BY-SAA study published in The BMJ today suggests a link between newer contraceptive pills and higher risk of serious blood clots. The finding is not new, but it may be cause for a different kind of concern. During their fertile years, between three and five women of every 10,000 who are not pregnant and not taking the pill are likely to develop blood clots every year. The research published today found older contraceptive pills double this “background” risk of blood clots, and the newer pills have roughly doubled the risk again. Several studies published over the past 20 years show very similar findings.
