IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION about Loestrin®

not serious and those that are occur infrequently. Serious risks, which can be life
threatening, include blood clots, stroke and heart attacks, and are increased if
you smoke cigarettes. Cigarette smoking increases the risk of
serious cardiovascular side effects, especially if you’re over 35. Women who use
oral contraceptives should not smoke. Some
women should not use the Pill, including women who have or have had blood clots,
certain cancers, a history of heart attack or stroke, as well as those who are or
may be pregnant. Oral contraceptives do not protect against HIV infection (AIDS)
and other sexually transmitted diseases.
