Abstract

Thrombotic risk among combined oral contraceptives (COC) users has recently been debated following a court action initiated by a patient. Recent epidemiological data, as well as accumulating biological data underlying these data, have led French Health authorities to modify COC prescription and reimbursement modalities. A short synthesis is proposed by a multidisciplinary group of experts from four French societies (CGOF, FNCGM, GHT, and SFMV).
